Dubai, UAE – Indulge in the perfect harmony of European and Middle Eastern flavors with a luxurious rice pudding made using premium European Union (EU) rice. This March, the “EUROPEAN RICE” campaign presents an irresistible dessert that blends the creamy texture of European rice pudding with the fragrant spices and floral notes beloved in Middle Eastern cuisine.

Recipe for European Rice Pudding with a Middle Eastern Twist

Ingredients:

• 1 cup EU rice
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1 tablespoon rose water
• 2 tablespoons pistachios, finely chopped (for garnish)
• Optional: a pinch of saffron

Instructions:

1. Cook the rice: Rinse EU rice thoroughly and cook in 2 cups of water until partially tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Simmer the pudding: In a large saucepan, combine milk and sugar, bringing it to a gentle boil. Add the cooked rice and simmer on low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
