Arroz con leche
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arroz con leche, or "rice with milk" in English, is a popular dessert. Many countries have their own versions. It closely resembles rice pudding. Arroz con leche is made of rice and milk, sweetened and boiled down until the rice is tender and the milk is thick. It is usually served with a sprinkling of cinnamon on top, and is best eaten hot and fresh. Another variation to make Arroz con leche is to boil the rice in cinnamon water and then add sweetened condensed milk to the cooked rice. Raisins can be added.
Arroz con leche is one of many foods sold by vendors who walk the streets daily. It is produced in homes by families, and in many cases forms the basis of the family's livelihood. The dessert forms the basis for a popular variety of paleta, a frozen dessert bar.
Arroz con leche is also a children's song and dance;
| Arroz con leche, me quiero casar Con ésta sí. Cásate conmigo que yo te daré |
Rice with milk With this one yes Marry me that I will give you |
