Red Rice With Milk (Arroz-da-terra de Leite)

Ingredients
1 cup red rice (arroz-da-terra)
4 cups water
salt to taste
2 cups whole milk, hot
2 tbsp whipping cream
Italian parsley, finely minced, to taste
1 sprig Italian parsley to decorate
 

In a large saucepan add the rice and water. Salt the water to taste. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring regularly to avoid sticking. When the water is almost totally absorbed, add the milk and cream and continue to cook, stirring more frequently, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Remove from heat. Mound the rice in a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with the minced parsley and add the sprig to decorate the dish. Serve immediately.
