My family recipe of rice pudding

August 31, 2017 By Mandarina 2 Comments

Rice pudding

They say easy as a pie, I would say, easy as a rice pudding. This simple dish has many variation and names between continents and countries: Arroz con leche in Spanish, Budino di riso in Italian, Risogallo in Greek, Sütlaç in Turkish, Syltjash or Tameloriz in Albanian, Duadhapak in Indian and many many more.

The beauty of the rice pudding is that it is simple and lets you play with spices and toppings. Some of my favorite spices to add are cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom or vanilla. I love to top it with nuts like walnuts, almonds, pistachio etc.

This rice pudding recipe is the one I’ve grown up with, and I really love it. I’m really curious though to try the Indian rice pudding with saffron and nuts, so I guess will be talking about rice pudding again soon.

    OMG, I haven’t had rice pudding in the longest time. Your recipe brings me back to childhood! I remember making rice pudding but making waaaaaaay to much rice. It was a hilarious mess. Your recipe looks so freaking cute with the string tied around the jar. Great job 🙂

Welcome to Mandarina Yum!

mmMy name is Ejona Varangu and I am a full time researcher in the telecommunication industry, and part time food blogger. I blog from a small apartment in Tirana, Albania, where I live with my better half and our two cats Weirdo and Pixel.

I started cooking in late 2013, when I decided to live alone, and I missed the great homemade dishes that my mum prepared, before that, I couldn’t even boil an egg by myself. Little by little I started experimenting with new ingredients and techniques and I loved every single minute of it. Find out more…
