Treat your ingredients with care...
- Arborio rice — Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch and achieve a creamy texture in the pudding.
- Corsican honey — Use high-quality Corsican honey for its distinct flavor. If Corsican honey is not available, you can substitute it with a local honey that has a mild and floral taste.
- Corsican lemon and orange zest — Make sure to use organic Corsican lemons and oranges for the zest to avoid any bitterness from pesticides. Wash the fruits thoroughly before zesting.
Tips & Tricks
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the whole milk with heavy cream.
- To enhance the citrus flavors, you can add a splash of Corsican lemon or orange juice to the pudding mixture.
- Experiment with different types of nuts for garnish, such as pine nuts or walnuts, to add a unique twist to the dish.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, you can increase the amount of Corsican honey according to your taste.
- Serve the Corsican Milk Pudding with a drizzle of Corsican honey on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
