Rice Pudding with Fresh Pears and Honey

Directions

1. 1.

   Bring rice, salt, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer until water is almost completely absorbed, 6–8 minutes.

2. 2.

   Add milk, return to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and milk is thickened, 30–35 minutes. Add sugar and orange-flower water and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute longer. Let cool slightly.

3. 3.

   Serve rice pudding topped with sliced pear and chopped pistachios and drizzled with honey.
