Rice is one of the most popular choices for carbohydrates around the world. It’s a versatile grain that soaks up flavor and pairs perfectly with so many dishes. Aside from savory dishes, it can be used to create delicious sweet treats such as this creamy rice pudding. Using pudding rice is the easiest option here, but if you can’t find it then aborio can be used instead. Or if you have leftover white rice from a savory meal then this can also be used in this recipe, you may just need less time in the oven.
