When the coconut milk is simmering add 1 Quart Brown Rice,
fully cooked. I used a 60/40 mix
of organic sweet brown rice & short grain brown rice. Sweet brown rice is also called
glutinous rice. It’s particularly
good in dessert preparations.
Stir
to incorporate the liquid into the rice. Add in all the diced fruit and the citrus juice and
zest. I used a large golden nugget
tangerine.
Stir well, cover and
set a timer for 15 mins. Check it
and when the fruit is as tender as you wish & the sauce is thickened it’s
ready to eat. It’s great served w/
ice cream. You can substitute
dried apricots if you wish. I like
to soak them in green tea, orange juice or sweet marsala to plump them up.
If you’re cooking up rice, make extra. It freezes well in quart freezer bags.
I cooked mine plain so I could sweeten it for this rice pudding and used some
extra for my chili & soup recipes this week too. You can find organic brown rice fully cooked in most grocery
stores.
