Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 3 cups milk (or non-dairy alternative)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked brown rice, 2 1/2 cups of the milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat while stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and the egg until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the saucepan while stirring constantly to avoid curdling.

Step 6

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the pudding thickens further.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, butter, and raisins (if using). Mix well until the butter is melted and everything is combined.

Step 8

Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm or refrigerate it for later and serve chilled.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
