Servings: 2
Ingredients:
5 Plums
3 Cloves
2 Cinnamon Sticks
50 g Sugar
400 ml Water
100 g Round rice
600 ml Milk of choice
30 g Sugar
1 Vanilla pod (cut in half lengthways )
Recipe:
- Poach the plums: Cut the plums in half and compost the stones. In a pan, toast the cinnamon stick and clove over medium heat for 1 minute to release their flavours. Add the sugar and water. Bring the syrup to a boil, then turn off the heat and add the plums. Set aside to poach. The plum will cook in the hot syrup.
- Make the rice pudding: Rinse the rice and put it in a saucepan. Cover with water and cook for 3 minutes. Drain. Pour the milk in the saucepan, along with the sugar and vanilla pod. Add the drained rice. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring often. Serve with the poached plums and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder (optional).
