Author Notes: This is the easiest recipe ever, but it tastes delicious. I created it when I first got a slow cooker, because I love rice pudding. The proportions come from some rice pudding recipes from Mark Bittman, who prepared his in the oven, but a slow cooker is more energy efficient and convenient. The cooking time needs to be calibrated to any individual slow cooker. —Fairmount_market
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
-
1
quart whole milk
-
1/3
cup rice, such as jasmine
-
1/2
cup sugar
-
6
cardamom pods
-
1
pinch saffron
-
1
handful toasted almond slivers for garnish (optional)
-
1
handful sliced fresh figs or some other fruit for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Combine all ingredients except the almonds and fruit in a slow cooker and cook on low for about 6 hours until all the milk has absorbed and the pudding has thickened. If a skin forms on the top, you can just stir this into the pudding at the end.
- Serve garnished with toasted slivered almonds and, if you have some, fresh sliced figs, or you could use sections of clementines.
