With sickos in the house for over a week, yesterday I decided to make some rice pudding with the rice that I had leftover.
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked rice
4 cups milk ( I use vanilla soy or rice dream)
2 tbsp vanilla
1/2 cup agave nectar (you could use honey or sugar, but I like the mild flavor of agave nectar much better!)
1 cup raisins
3-4 tbsp tapioca starch (less if you like it a little thinner, more if you like it thicker)
cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
Place rice and 3 cups milk in a pot on medium high heat and bring to a boil. Add vanilla. Add tapioca starch to the remaining milk and stir until tapioca is dissolved, then add into the pot. Continue stirring until pudding starts to thicken. Add raisins and about 1 tsp cinnamon, depending on your taste. Add in about 1/2 tsp nutmeg, depending on your taste.
Cover and remove from heat. Let it sit for about 15 minutes before serving. You can eat this hot or cold, but we prefer it hot. It stores easily and does not dry out when reheating.
