Stove-top rice pudding with baked rhubarb
Warm rice pudding is so comforting and wonderful just on its own but you can jazz it up with baked rhubarb.
                        Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup medium-grain rice
 - 3 cups milk
 - 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
 - 3 tablespoon caster sugar
 - 1 teaspoon butter
 - 3 stalks rhubarb, chopped
 - 2 tablespoons sugar, extra
 
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
 - Place the rice, milk, vanilla essence and a pinch of salt with 1 tablespoon of the sugar into a saucepan. Cover with a lid; simmer on a low heat for 25-30 minutes.
 - Stir in the remaining sugar and the butter. Turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Rest for 7-10 minutes before serving.
 - While the pudding is resting, wash the rhubarb but do not dry. Toss in the extra sugar, which will stick to the wet rhubarb.
 - Arrange on a lined baking tray and bake for 7-10 minutes until soft to the touch.
 
Serve with the pudding and pouring cream if wished.
