Baking and Desserts • European
Description
Sticky rice, such as Arborio, is not rinsed beforehand like other varieties to avoid washing away the outer layer of starch, which gives the rice the desired creamy consistency when cooked.
Ingredients
- Milk 0 qt
- Arborio rice 10 oz
- Chocolate eggs 4 pieces
- Sugar 5 oz
- Salt a pinch
- Butter 1 tablespoon
- Breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon
- Chopped almonds 5 oz
- Ground dried cherries 0 oz
- Dried ground orange peel 5 oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Pour the milk into a saucepan, add sugar and half of the citrus peel. Place over heat and bring to a boil.
Step 2
Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat and cook for 25 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, stirring the rice occasionally.
Step 4
Meanwhile, chop the candied peel into small pieces. Place in a bowl with the cherries, pour in the wine, mix, and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain in a colander. Chop the almonds with a knife.
Step 5
Transfer the cooled rice to a bowl, add the candied peel, cherries, remaining citrus peel, and almonds. Mix well.
Step 6
Separate the yolks from the whites. Add the yolks to the rice and mix again. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold into the rice mixture.
Step 7
Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Spread the prepared rice mixture in the dish and place in a preheated oven at 355°F for 35 minutes. Before serving, dust the pie with powdered sugar.
