With citruses, spices, and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds, this creamy Persian rice pudding is healthy, low fat and sugar free, taking 10 minutes in an Instant Pot!
I love nothing better than to stalk Michelin star chefs on Instagram. It's not always about the perfect image, but it is about outstanding food.
So when I saw Angela Hartnett's picture of a Persian Rice Pudding, I had to make a healthy version. And better still, it was cooked in my Tefal multicooker. (Or pressure cooker/Instant Pot if you will).
It's a zesty and warming spiced little number, too with all the flavours of Christmas that I love!
If you don't own a multicooker or a pan pressure cooker, then it's definitely something to consider as it's cooked in 10 minutes. Yep, that's right. And great if you want to make something on a whim like I did yesterday morning for breakfast.
I developed this recipe as an unofficial Slimming World recipe as part of their plan I am following. But it does use around 100ml of my allowance.
If you're not part of a diet club yet and want to stay healthy, then it's perfect. It also serves a large portion or two smaller ones portions, but you could triple everything similarly to my Summer Paella recipe which is also yummy by the way!
