Looks good Qahtan.  Have you tried using cardamom instead of nutmeg?  It's yummy.

[qahtan]

but I like nutmeg , I grew up with nutmeg... 

 over here and in the states they put in raisins and cinnamon and all kinds of stuff yuck...... qahtan

Here in Belgium, they do tarte au riz - pastry case filled with rice pudding and baked.  Yuk!

I know what you mean about raisins and stuff but I do urge you to try cardamom, just the once.

I do a similar one in the Aga for about 6 hours using a litre of milk, 20z sugar, 20z arborio rice and a very generous helping of cinnamon - just stir it all together and leave - fast food in slow mo

Nothing like a good rice pudding this time of year!!

Never thought of using the slow cooker so thanks for the tip I shall be trying this out as soon as the stew has been eaten up.

a lady I know makes a Normandy rice pudding called a "tergoul" - you use about 150g of round rice, you bring it to the boil in some water, drain it then put it in a large casserole dish with 2 LITRES of milk (full cream of course, this is Normandy) and a generous helping of cinnamon. You cook it for about an hour, take it out, stir and add about a heaped cup of sugar, then cook again (all teh time in a very slow oven) for about another 2 hours. Good if you can make a slow cooked stew at the same time to save energy!!
In the end you have a sort of rice-y sludge within a thick caramelised custard and a really rich crust. It is super delicious, even if long to cook (but pretty easy to make).

I normally make mine with Cardomon too although I have taken to makeing a creamed rice pudding with vanilla pods and a spiced apple compote to go with it.

Extremely moreish and I'll dig out the recipe for whoever requests it

[Squash64]

I add a small tin of evaporated milk and some butter to mine. 

Just thinking about it has given me the urge to make one................

Lovely looking rice pudd qahtan

But, where is the skin ?

[qahtan]

 well this is what was left over after we had eaten,,,,'-)))))

[Chloe]

LOL, the skin is my favourite

[qahtan]

and mine......

[Digeroo]

Mine are much more runny than yours.  I also like the skin.  I put a piece of cinnamon stick in mine.  I like mine with raspberry jam.  I prefer to use long grained rice and a good thingy of butter and full cream milk but a lot less sugar.  Certainly no five hour cooking.  Probably 30 mins will do it.

 did you notice how much sugar I had to 80 ounces milk, 80 ounces yea thats  4 English pints, right. this was thinner the day it was made, but I  will stir a little more milk into this,

 I like fresh grated nutmeg on top, and 2% milk tastes creamy after cooking in slow cooker.... qahtan
 my brother likes blackcurrant jam on his,,, yuck

[Squash64]

I don't put any sugar at all in it.
