Portuguese Sweet Rice

A creamy, spiced rice pudding flavored with lemon zest and cinnamon—traditional for Portuguese celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 quarts milk
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan over high heat combine sugar and milk. When bubbles form at the edges, stir in rice and reduce heat to medium- low. Cook 60 minutes, stirring often, until rice is tender. Do not allow to boil.
  2. Remove from heat and vigorously stir in beaten eggs, a little at a time, until well incorporated. Serve warm.
