Greek rice pudding (Rizogalo)

Here is a Greek favorite ….Rizogalo….

The word Rizogalo comes from the words rice and milk.

We have so many recipes and so many different ways to make the very simple but delicious Rizogalo.

By now you must know that I favor easy recipes, and my recipe for Rizogalo is just that, nice and easy!

Comfort snack for my family and one more recipe that it’s not big enough….I never make enough in my house, things have a way of disappearing, unless you put your name on something that you really like, then there is hope….

I don’t like to make big recipes, I rather make it again in a few days, so it’s nice and fresh!

Here is my recipe for Rizogalo

1 liter milk

1 cup rice (Arborio)

2 cups water

2 cups sugar

Vanilla and ½ tsp salt

Cinnamon for dusting

Place water and rice in heavy pot and cook  for a few minutes, or until water starts to evaporate

Add milk and sugar, vanilla and salt

Stir well and cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes,stirring often.

Milk has the tendency to overflow when it boils, make sure and lower the heat when it starts to boil

When it’s done, place your Rizogalo in bowls and dust with cinnamon!

I like my Rizogalo when it’s nice and cold!
