Whole Grain Rice Pudding with Cherries

Ingredients

• 0.5 Vanilla bean
• 200 g natural whole grain rice
• 675 ml oat milk
• 300 g frozen sour cherries
• 30 g agave syrup (3 tbsp)
• 0.5 tsp agar-agar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1.

   Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a knife. Bring the whole grain rice, 450 ml oat milk, vanilla bean and seeds to a boil in a pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about an hour, partially covered, stirring occasionally and adding the remaining oat milk as needed.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile, warm the sour cherries with 1 tbsp agave syrup in a small saucepan. Drain the cherries in a sieve, catching the juice. Dissolve the agar-agar in 3 tbsp cold water, add it to the cherry juice and bring to a quick boil in the small pan. Then mix in the cherries.

3. 3.

   Remove the vanilla bean from the rice pudding. Sweeten the rice with the remaining agave syrup, fill serving bowls with the mixture, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
