Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
  2. In a saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer with the cinnamon stick, lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add the rice and let it cook over very low heat, stirring often, for 30 to 35 minutes, until tender and creamy.
  4. Remove the cinnamon and zest, add the sugar and vanilla and stir for 2 minutes.
  5. For a richer texture, off the heat, whisk in the egg yolk vigorously.
  6. Pour into small bowls and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Serve warm or let cool in the fridge.

Variations and tips

Caramel version. Melt 80 g of sugar dry until you get a light blond caramel, pour it into the bottom of the bowls before adding the rice pudding.

Using what's available here. Round risotto rice is sold in every supermarket and works perfectly in place of Paraguayan rice.
