Greek Rizogalo
- 1 cup short-grain rice (sushi or Arborio)
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 two-inch pieces of lemon peel
- Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
- In a large saucepan (4 to 6 quarts), combine the rice and 4 cups water.
- Bring to a boil, and then lower heat and simmer 10 minutes.
- Add milk, sugar and lemon peel.
- Bring back to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Lower heat, continuing to stir, so milk simmers vigorously without bubbling over.
- Simmer until the liquid is reduced and thickened to a creamy consistency that will coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir frequently to keep rice from sticking to bottom of pan.
- Discard lemon peel.
- Spoon equal amounts of rice into four serving bowls, and let sit for a minute.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon, and serve.
