- 3/4 cup uncooked short grain white rice
- 2 cups milk, divided
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup dried apricots, diced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 orange, zested
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- Freshly grated nutmeg, for serving (optional)
Bring 1 1/2 cups water (I preferred to use milk) to a boil over high heat in a saucepan. Stir in your rice. Then turn down the heat, cover the pan and let simmer for 20 minutes.
When the rice is done, put it in a clean saucepan with 1 1/2 cups milk, the sugar and salt. Cook this over medium heat, giving it a stir every once in awhile, until it thickens up and gets creamy, 15 to 20 minutes.
Crack your egg into a small bowl and beat it with the remaining 1/2 cup milk. Slowly stir this mixture into the rice. Stir in your diced apricots and cook 2 minutes more. Take off the stove and stir in your butter, vanilla, orange zest, and cardamom.
Grate some nutmeg over top (if using) and serve. Enjoy!

Vai cum arata!!! cred ca are un gust demential! Iubesc budinca de orez!
Este absolut divina, fiica-mea a tot mancat pana i-am zis "stop", ca ma temeam sa nu i se faca rau :D
chiar ca arata intr-un mare fel! :D
Guvi, this really looks delicious. I'd love to have a serving after dinner tonight. The apricot makes it more unusual than the standard rice pudding. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
