Ingredients

  • 1 litre milk
  • 3/4 cup aborio rice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 cup caster sugar

Directions

  1. Place milk, rice, salt, vanilla bean (seeds scraped out and pod too) and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and heat over medium heat, continually stirring for around 20 minutes or until the rice is soft and the mixture thick. You must stand over and watch and stir otherwise it will stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
  2. Add sugar and continue to simmer for a further couple of minutes, still stirring. Turn off the heat.
  3. Serve whilst warm. Add poached fruit if you like. I added peach and pear. Delicious!
