Pressure Cooker Rice Pudding
Serve this pudding warm in the winter or chilled in the summer - substitute the mandarin coins for a squirt of lime juice or any beautifully shaped refreshing fruit. This deceivingly simple recipe traveled through three countries to get here. First, it was inspired by Masterchef Australia. George's Rice Pudding with Orange Jewels, Tarragon and Puffed Rice which requires lots of skill to make the "jewels" so I substituted those with fresh mandarin coins, I used amaretto cookies for a tarty crunch, and lemon thyme for zing, all of which create a nice contrast to the sweet rice pudding. Then, the British Word of Mouth blog posted an entry on How to make perfect rice pudding, and I could not resist the addition of a Bay Leaf and nutmeg in a nod to their traditional puddings. Here I am, in Italy, putting it all together, adapting it for the pressure cooker and coming up with a wholly original recipe for you! From the Hip Pressure Cooking website, with permission.
