Ingredients

  • 2 cups short-grain rice (like Arborio)
  • 6 cups water
  • 4 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 vanilla bean
  • 6 tablespoons sugar (to taste)

Method

  • Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Wash the rice and drain it. Add the rice to the boiling water, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • In a separate saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat.
  • Remove the cooked rice and drain it. Slowly drop the rice into the boiling milk. Lower the heat and add salt, vanilla bean, and sugar. Cover and simmer 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the milk is absorbed. Add more milk, if necessary for a tender rice.
  • Serve warm, cold or room temperature - your preference.
