Arroz Con Dulce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups white rice
2 cups water
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 pinch nutmeg
1 teaspoon ginger
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup raisins
6 cloves
1 pinch cinnamon
1 cinnamon stick

Preparation

First it is recommended that you soak the rice in water for at least 3 hours before cooking so that it can soften up. After it has been soaking for a bit remove the water and begin to cook it.
In a heavy saucepan over med heat, bring the rice and water to a boil.
Lower the heat to simmer (LOW), add the cloves and cinnamon stick. Stir.
Let this cook (uncovered) until the water has evaporated ( 8 - 15 minutes ).
Add the remaining ingredients (except the pinch of cinnamon), stir gently once, and again let simmer (uncovered) until all liquid has evaporated.
Transfer into a casserole or serving dish, garnish with the pinch of cinnamon (sprinkle on top) and refrigerate.
Keep refrigerated. May be served at room temperature.
