Shir Berenj (Persian Rice Pudding)


Ingredients

200 g white rice
8 cups milk
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup rosewater (Use vanilla if you can't find it)
1 1/2 cups whipping cream (35%)
Slivered pistachios for garnish

Preparation

Wash the rice and soak in water for 2 hours; then drain the water.

Place rice and water in a deep pot; cook uncovered over medium heat until rice slightly softens (about 20 minutes).

Add milk and sugar; cover the pot, cook and simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens; about 2 hours (stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom). Then add rosewater and whipping cream; stir well and cook for 10 minutes.

Pour into individual dessert dishes and garnish with slivered pistachios.

Serve cold or hot with jam, syrup or more sugar.

Makes 8 servings.
