Rizogalo (Greek Rice Pudding)

Greek rice pudding is simple, comforting, and delicious. Some people in Greece make it with eggs, but my aunt prefers it without. It's best enjoyed cold — if you can wait that long!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 cups water

  • ½ cup uncooked short-grain white rice

  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk, divided

  • 4 tablespoons white sugar

  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste

Directions

  1. Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered and at a slow simmer, stirring occasionally, until soft and most of the water has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.

  2. Add 2 cups milk and sugar. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.

  3. Stir remaining 1/2 cup milk and cornstarch together in a bowl; add to boiling rice-milk mixture along with vanilla. Stir until well combined, then remove from the heat.

  4. Ladle into individual serving dishes and sprinkle with cinnamon. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, then refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours.

Vietnamese Sandwich

Vietnamese Sandwich

While teaching English in Asia for the past several years, I've been lucky to exchange some delicious and authentic recipes with local people. This Vietnamese banh mi sandwich is awesome, and it is a nice break from common sandwiches. The garlic chili sauce is common in Asian sections of markets but Indonesian sambal or Korean chili paste can also be substituted. Beer or red wine is the beverage of choice for this authentic recipe of French-influenced Vietnamese cuisine.

An easy applesauce recipe that uses the spicy cinnamon flavor of Red Hots. The color is fun too! Your family will love it. Depending on the sweetness of the apples, consider adding less sugar or none at all. Enjoy right away or freeze for up to 6 months.

Tuscan Salmon

Tuscan Salmon

This Tuscan salmon takes you on a trip to central Italy, with this Tuscan-inspired main dish. Lots of flavors you love make a bed for some lovely pan-roasted salmon. Everything can be done in one skillet, and if you'd like a side of pasta, clean up will still be a breeze. We like this with risotto, a salad, and a good crusty bread, too!

Best Sweet and Sour Brisket

Best Sweet and Sour Brisket

This is the best brisket you will ever taste! No matter who comes for dinner, they always make sure that I'll be making this brisket. It is a very traditional dish for Rosh Hashanah and Passover but it certainly is a winner any time of the year for anyone who loves very tender beef.
