Sumo Citrus™ Spiced Rice Pudding

Serves 4 people



1 large Sumo Citrus
1 cup arborio rice
a pinch of salt
2 cups of filtered water

Walnut Sumo Citrus Smoothie
Sumo Citrus flesh
2 cups of filtered water
½ cup of walnut
½ cup rice malt syrup
½ tsp allspice powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon



1. Grate the zest of Sumo Citrus. Set aside. Remove the flesh for smoothie and reserve 2 strips of the citrus peel.

2. Make Walnut Sumo Citrus Smoothie: In a blender, add all the smoothie ingredients. Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Set aside.

3. Combine 2 strips orange peel, 2 cups water, a pinch of salt in a heavy-based saucepan and bring to a boil.

4. Add the rice and return to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

5. While the rice is cooking, slowly add the smoothie. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring, until the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.

6. Remove the peel and stir in zest. Serve rice pudding immediately with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
