Recipe Review

This is a rice pudding unlike any I've ever made before.

It took me quite a bit longer than suggested in the recipe. The two cooking stages (first rice+water+spices, and second rice mix + milk & egg) each took about 25% longer than suggested. But its mostly hands off, so not really an inconvenience.

What makes this particular rice pudding a stand out is its amazing flavor. That flavor comes from a soak, and the two cooking stages with cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and lemon peel in the mix. Somehow those flavors meld, and are transformed into an entirely new entity.

I should also mention the texture. This pudding does set up some while cooling, so be patient in that last cooking phase, and bring the mixture really close to your optimum texture.

Also, I added the raisins. If you really love raisins, add extra, they are not dense in the final product.
