Chocolate rice pudding (rizogalo)

The Greeks embraced rice, using it in many recipes, including dolmades, avgolemono soup and, of course, rizogalo. Traditionally flavoured with honey and cinnamon, this rice pudding uses milk chocolate for added luxuriousness.

The following recipe has been tested and edited by SBS Food and may differ slightly from the podcast.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Place the milk and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring, over medium heat. Add the rice and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate and mix through. Pour the mixture into a 1.5 litre baking dish. Dust with cinnamon.

Transfer to the oven and cook for a 40-45 minutes until the rice is cooked, and the rizogalo is thick and creamy.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
