Coconut and Cardamom Rice Pudding




                                                          Rice pudding, for me, is the
                                                          ultimate comfort food. This

                                                          version is made with coconut milk

                                                          so it is dairy-free but just as
                                                          creamy and delicious as regular

                                                          rice pudding. I’ve also made it
                                                          with a mix of brown rice and

                                                          quinoa to up the protein and fibre

                                                          content. It tastes great on its own,
                                                          but to make it even more

                                                          decadent, you could add some

                                                          quick berry compote that you can

       COOK: 30 minutes (20                           saucepan over a medium heat and
       minutes if you use white                       bring to the boil.  Turn down to a
       rice)                                          simmer and cook for about 30 minutes

                                                      until the coconut milk is mostly
       SERVES: 2 adults and a                         absorbed and the rice is cooked
       baby.                                          through.

       Ideal first food
                                                      Spoon into bowls and serve warm
       1 x 400 ml can of coconut                      (wearing PJs for maximum

       milk                                           comfort!).
       6 tbsp brown rice, rinsed
       well                                           Add some toppings if you like or a

       3 tbsp whole quinoa                            squeeze of maple syrup for
       1/2 tsp ground cardamom                        the adults.

       SUBSTITUTIONS:
       If you don’t like coconut milk you can make this with any regular milk of your choice. It
       won’t be as naturally sweet so you will almost certainly want to add a topping.
