One of the earliest recipes I remember making at home as a kid was creamed rice. Since that time I have always made it the same way – long grain rice, milk and a bit of sugar. Recently I decided to expand my horizons and, inspired by a recipe in the Coles Baby Club magazine, use aborio rice. I’ve also been trying to cut down on our dairy intake, so used rice milk as well. The aborio rice made a nice change, and I just love it on a cold winter’s night.
