High-Life Rice Pudding

Ingredients

• 1 lb good white rice, three times washed
• 2 cups milk
• 1 stick cinnamon
• 1 piece lemon
• 1 jug milk (to add during cooking)
• 1 lb sugar
• 1 cup nogada (walnut-and-milk sauce)
• cinnamon and ground sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. Soak washed rice six hours, then cook with milk, cinnamon and lemon.
2. Add a jug of milk as the rice swells and absorbs it.
3. When almost done, add sugar, stirring one-handed with a reed to avoid curdling.
4. Off the heat, stir in a cup of nogada (walnut-milk sauce).
5. Serve dusted with cinnamon and ground sugar.
