1 cup rice
2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup raisins
3 eggs separated
3/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Directions
Combine the rice, water, sugar and salt in a large saucepan. Bring the
water to a boil and cover the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and
continue to cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
Combine the milk and egg yolks. Add them to the rice. Then mix in the
raisins, vanilla and cinnamon. Simmer for five minutes. Remove from
the heat. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold them into the rice.
Chill and garnish with nutmeg before serving. NOTE: I like rice
pudding warm, too.
(Rice pudding--a traditional wedding dish) I'll post some Traditional
New Mexico dessert favorites. Hope you enjoy them. They're not hard,
and they're sure tasty.
:)

The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are some tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later, we have a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are not about the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich people of that time. For the decades that followed, the rich families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Arroz Dulce recipe.
