Method
- 1
Simmer the rice in milk
Add the rice to the milk in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- 2
Cook until soft
Simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring regularly, until the rice is very soft and the milk has thickened.
- 3
Add sugar and mace
Stir in the sugar and the piece of mace, and simmer a further 5 minutes.
- 4
Remove the mace
Fish out the mace before serving, as it's meant to flavour the pudding rather than be eaten.
- 5
Garnish and serve
Garnish with chopped cashews and serve warm.
Nitra tip
Mace's flavour is more subtle than cinnamon or cardamom — simmer it a little longer than you'd expect to fully draw out its aroma.
