Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 lemon peel
  • 8-9 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a sauce pan add: rice, sugar, cinnamon stick, lemon peel, and 7 cups of milk.
  • Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 60 min, or until rice is soft, stir frequently.
  • During simmering time, you may notice the rice getting too sticky/thick. Add 1/2 cup of milk at a time to regain pudding texture.
  • Once consistency is good, whisk eggs in separate dish and temper them and add to rice pan along with vanilla extract, mix well.*
  • When thoroughly mixed, remove from heat, place in bowls and put in refrigerator. Allow a few hours to cool.
  • Remove and serve this Greek rice pudding with some cinnamon sprinkled on top**

Notes

*Temper eggs: break eggs in bowl and whisk. Take some of the rice mixture and add it to the eggs, mixing well. Doing this insures the eggs won't curdle.
**Serving: if rice gets too thick while in the refrigerator, simply add some milk, mix well to turn back into pudding texture.
