Costa Rican Style Rice Pudding

by Febrina Picone Malloy

We discovered this at a mountain lodge in Costa Rica and asked them how they made it.  They were very obliging and gave us a list of the ingredients.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup cooked rice
3 TB sugar
1/8 tsp salt – measure and then remove 1/3 of the salt.
¾ cup milk
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
3 whole cloves
cinnamon

Directions:
1. Combine ingredients in a heavy saucepan.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until it boils.
3. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for a few minutes.
4. Serve hot with cinnamon.

6 servings

Ingredients:
2 large eggs, or 4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups milk
nutmeg for flavoring
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups cooked rice
3/4 cup raisins, plumped

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients, pour into 1 quart casserole and set in pan of 1 inch deep water.  Sprinkle generously with nutmeg.
2. Bake at 350° about 50 minutes until set at edges but still creamy in the center.

Febrina Malloy's version: use 1/2 cup raisins instead of 3/4 cup, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Broccoli Rice Casserole

by Cyndi Malloy

This is the original recipe but, for my large family, I use 3 cups of uncooked rice and double the other ingredients. I use an insane amount of Velveeta cheese. We like to reheat the leftovers for days. Yum!

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked rice
1/4 cup sauteed onions (or add raw onions to uncooked rice)
1 to 1 1/2 cups broccoli, chopped tops and stems, partially cooked
1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup
1/2 soup can milk
chunks of Velveeta cheese to taste

Directions:
1. Cook rice and then add other ingredients and mix well.
2. Bake at 350°, covered, until bubbly around the edges.  Bake time will vary, depending on how much you make (approx. 30 mins for the original recipe and 45-60 mins for the size I make).  I like to give it a thorough stirring once the cheese has melted, maybe halfway through bake time, to make it a more uniform yellow-orange color. I also uncover for the last 10 minutes or so.
