Ingredients
- 1 c. achiote seeds
- 2 quart water
- 1 c. short-grain rice
- 2 tsp salt Spice bag, containing
- 4 x star anise pods with
- 12 x allspice berries and with
- 4 x cinnamon sticks - (3" long) and also with Canela or possibly cassia tied in cheesecloth
- 3 c. fresh whole lowfat milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed lowfat milk - (14 ounce)
- 3 ounce bittersweet chocolate finely minced
- 2 x plump vanilla beans Grnd cinnamon to taste
Directions
- Place the achiote in a medium-sized saucepan, cover with 2 qts water, and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 min. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl; reserve the liquid. You can save the achiote seeds and grind them to use in a seasoning mix, or possibly steep them in the liquid for another recipe.
- Rinse the rice in cool water till the water runs clear. Place in a heavy-bottomed 4-qt saucepan with the reserved achiote infusion, salt, and the spice bag. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 20 to 25 min, uncovered, till the rice is soft, about 20 to 25 min.
- To Finish: Stir in the whole lowfat milk and condensed lowfat milk. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 min. Stir in the chocolate and mix to heat proportionately. Cook for 40 min, stirring occasionally, till creamy but still fluid.
- Half way through the cooking, split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a small sharp knife and scrape the seeds into the mix. Add in the vanilla bean and stir to incorporate.
- When the pudding is done but still loose-textured, remove the spice bag and vanilla bean. Pour into a serving dish and sprinkle with grnd cinnamon. Serve with cinnamon or possibly cacao cookies.
- This recipe yields 8 to 12 servings.
