Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Melt the butter in a large ovenproof pan. When it’s foaming, add the rice and cook for a few minutes until the butter turns golden brown and the rice is lightly toasted.

  • step 2

    Stir in the sugar for a few minutes until it dissolves, then add the vanilla, coconut milk, double cream and a pinch of salt. Grate a fine layer of fresh nutmeg over the top, then put the dish in the oven to cook for 45 mins, until the rice is cooked through and a skin has formed.

  • step 3

    While the rice pudding cooks, toss the rhubarb, sugar and cardamom together in a baking tray. Tuck the orange zest in with the rhubarb. Roast the rhubarb alongside the rice pudding for the last 20 mins.

  • step 4

    Serve the rice pudding in bowls with the rhubarb and syrup spooned over the top.

Recipe tip

Vanilla sugar
Vanilla pods are an expensive ingredient, so make sure you get the most from them. Once you’ve roasted the pod alongside the rhubarb, dab it dry on some kitchen paper, then blitz the whole pod with 250g sugar to make a vanilla sugar to use in cakes or sprinkled over desserts. It will keep in a jar indefinitely.
