where did you see me add lemon peel? I added orange blossom water, it adds a wonderful flavor that is a mix between vanilla and mild orange :)
By: dedemed
Lemon peel in rice pudding? I'd rather drizzle a whole lemon juice from the fruit into the pudding.
By: tribefenatic
you have a point but yet it is different :)
By: dedemed
This seems like variation of ancient Arabic rice pudding "Muhallabieh/M'halbi", only difference is that in original recipe they use rice turned to powder - way better imho.
