Detailed Description (Procedure)
-
Aromatic Infusion: In a large saucepan, pour in the milk along with the cinnamon stick and lemon peel. Heat over medium heat until it begins to boil.
-
Cooking the Rice: Add the rice and turn the heat down to the lowest setting. It is essential to cook it very slowly so the grain gradually releases its starch. Stir every 5-8 minutes with a wooden spoon.
-
Technical Incorporation: Halfway through cooking (about 20-25 minutes), add the pinch of Bonsalt and the Cream of Tartar. The Cream of Tartar will help stabilize the milk protein and give the rice a much silkier, more melt-in-your-mouth texture.
-
Smart Sweetening: When the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened, add the 12 g of Castelló Stevia 1:8. Stir well for 2 minutes so the sweetness is evenly distributed.
-
Finishing: Remove the cinnamon stick and lemon peel. Let the rice rest in the saucepan for a few minutes before spooning it into individual bowls.
-
Serving: Once cold (or warm), sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top. The potassium in Bonsalt will make the cinnamon flavor much deeper and longer-lasting.
Chef's Secrets
-
Creaminess Without Cream: Using Cream of Tartar is the professional trick for achieving that "custard-like" texture without needing to add extra cream or butter.
-
Sweetness Control: Stevia 1:8 has very high sweetening power; always add it at the end of cooking to preserve all its sweet notes without the extreme heat affecting them.
