FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Blanch the rice in a large pot of boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• 2.   Bring the milk and split vanilla bean to a boil. Remove the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the boiling milk using the tip of a knife.
• 3.   Add the rice and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the sugar (I personally chose brown sugar for a more flavorful taste) and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
• 4.   To finish
  You can put about a teaspoon of liquid caramel in the bottom of each ramekin before pouring the rice on top.
• 5.   Let cool completely, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes & Suggestions

• You can also add raisins soaked in amber rum (for 30 minutes) and mix them into the hot rice. You can also "chocolate" the hot rice: roughly chop about 70 g of your choice of chocolate (dark, milk, caramel milk, white) and mix well before pouring into the ramekins.
