Instructions
1
Put the rice into a thick-bottomed saucepan, add water and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat and cook while stirring until the rice absorbs all the water (about 3–4 minutes). This step "opens up" the grain and prevents the milk from scorching too quickly.
2
Once the water has evaporated, pour in the milk. Add the scraped vanilla seeds (along with the empty pod), a piece of lemon zest and a cinnamon stick. Stir well and wait for the milk to come to a boil.
3
Reduce the heat to a minimum (a gentle simmer). Cover with a lid, leaving a small gap. Cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring several times so the rice doesn't stick to the bottom and to release the starch that will create a creamy texture.
4
Once the rice is cooked "al dente" and the mixture is thick and creamy, remove the saucepan from the heat. Remove the vanilla pod, cinnamon stick and lemon zest. Serve warm or chilled, sprinkled with cinnamon and fresh berries.
Nutritional benefits
This meal is an excellent source of easily digestible carbohydrates for restoring glycogen after training, while the calcium from milk contributes to bone health and muscle function. The combination of rice pudding with cinnamon and berries, thanks to its fiber content and natural bioactive compounds, helps promote a more gradual rise in blood sugar, allowing you to enjoy a sweet meal with less worry and preventing a sudden energy dip afterward.
