For this week’s “Tuesdays with Dorie” challenge Isabelle of Les gourmandises d’Isa picked “Arborio Rice Pudding, White, Black (Or Both)” from Dorie Greenspan’s book “Baking From My Home to Yours".

I really enjoyed the recipe with risotto rice. Nevertheless the recipe did not work as it should. I was glad to have read in advance the comments of other participants. First struggle was for many bakers the tiny amount of rice. Just 1/4 cup! I took 1/3 cup and added about 2 tbs. The 2 cups of water were quite ok - as the rest of the water went into the sink. Dorie added in her recipe more than 3 cups to 1/4 cup of rice. Far too much for me, especially when the estimated cooking time of 15 minutes was too short. I only added 2 cups to my 1/3 cup of rice. I cooked it for 1/2 hour.

And now my tweak: The last few minutes I added some orange zest, giant raisins and saffron! The suffron gave it an oriental look - the flavour was very, very tasty. I really liked the orange zest and raisin combination. For decoration - and of course extra flavour - I added some roasted sliced almonds.

Thanks, Isabelle for choosing this recipe! By the way: Isa has the recipe for the base recipe.
