Description
Black rice (a whole grain rice) is rich in iron, fiber and antioxidants.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup black rice (rinsed and soaked overnight)
- 2 cups coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 2/3 cups water
- 3 dates, chopped into small pieces
- A splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Rinse and soak black rice overnight.
- Boil 2 cups coconut milk and 1 2/3 cups water.
- While the liquid is boiling, re-rinse your soaked rice.
- When your milk/water is near-boiling, grab a new pot. Put the rice in this pot over a low flame, toast it quickly, and then add about half of your boiling liquid.
- As time goes on, gradually add the rest of your heated liquid to your rice, testing for texture.
- About 30-40 minutes into cooking, add a splash of vanilla extract and your chopped dates.
- Test your rice for texture (it should be chewy, not mushy, when cooked) and add extra water if needed.
- Remove pudding from stove and transfer to another container to cool.
Notes
This recipe is delicious both warm and cold. Warm, I top the pudding with an extra splash of coconut milk for dessert. Cold, I eat it as is (often for breakfast!).
