Ta-da! Poached Pear and Coconut Milk Rice Pudding
This looks so fancy and it's easy! But you do need to stay in the kitchen or at least nearby.
In other words I need to get my buzzer working in my building so I don't have to
wait for my company down stairs.
Begin with the pears.
Boil one liter water with 1 cup sugar and a stick of cinnamon. Stir to dissolve sugar.
Add star anise if you have it. I wish I did, but couldn't find it anywhere!
Lower heat and cook four peeled brown pears for 15-20 minutes.
Remove pears and keep the liquid reducing on low for 20-25 minutes.
It will still be very runny, so that this way you can pour it!
Meanwhile and a can of coconut milk to a liter measure and add water to fill to one liter.
Put in a pot with 1 cup Arborio rice and 1/2 cup sugar.
Boil and then reduce to simmer allowing to cook for 25-30 minutes.
Serve warm or room temperature, with a sprinkle of cinnamon if you'd like a Greek touch.
Four servings of Greek won't hurt anyone, but watch out before the Trojan Horse rides in.
