Sweet rice with raisins is easily made in a multicooker, without the need to constantly monitor the boiling of the milk. In the first step, the rice is cooked with the milk on the PILAF program, then sugar, raisins, and lemon flavors are added. The last approximately 10 minutes are important for homogenization, so the dessert should be stirred occasionally. Quick Info Total time: approximately 25 minutes, without a separate preparation time mentioned in the recipe Preparation time: not specified separately Cooking time: 15 minutes on the PILAF program, then approximately 10 minutes after adding the other ingredients Servings: not specified; depend on the amount placed in each bowl Difficulty: easy Recipe type: dessert with rice, milk, and raisins Appliance used: multicooker, on the PILAF program Ingredients 1 cup of rice 5 cups of milk 1/2 cup of sugar 1 cup of raisins Grated peel and juice of 1 lemon Preparation method 1. Put the rice and milk in the multicooker pot. For this recipe, the PILAF program is used. 2. Set the program for 15 minutes and let the rice cook with the milk. 3. After the 15 minutes are up, add the sugar, raisins, grated lemon peel, and lemon juice. 4. Let the mixture cook for another 10 minutes in the multicooker. Stir occasionally so that the sugar dissolves, the raisins are evenly distributed, and the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pot. 5. Turn off the appliance after this step and serve the sweet rice with raisins while warm or let it cool, depending on preference. The large amount of milk makes the dessert creamy, and the rice continues to absorb liquid even after the appliance is turned off. Therefore, it is normal for the texture to change slightly as it cools. Stirring in the last 10 minutes remains important, especially after adding the sugar and raisins. Why I make the recipe often Rice with raisins is a simple dessert made from a few basic ingredients and is suitable when you want something sweet without complicated preparations. The multicooker helps cook the rice with milk in one pot, and the PILAF program provides a clear starting point for the first step. Raisins add sweetness and a different texture compared to the creamy rice, while lemon changes the final flavor with its peel and juice. The recipe can be prepared for immediate serving or to be eaten after it cools, when the mixture becomes more cohesive. Tips Stir occasionally in the final stage of about 10 minutes. There is no need to stir continuously, but the mixture should be checked periodically after adding the sugar and raisins. Grate only the lemon peel and also use its juice, as per the recipe. The peel provides the lemon aroma, while the juice adds a sour note that balances the sweetness. Keep in mind that the texture may thicken after turning off the multicooker. If the rice seems more fluid immediately after cooking, it does not necessarily mean that the recipe is not ready. The amount of sugar is as stated in the recipe and can be adjusted according to personal taste only if you choose to modify the dish. Raisins also contribute to the final sweetness. Substitutions Milk is the liquid base of the recipe and no alternative is indicated in the source. If replaced, the result may have a different consistency and taste. For this recipe, the lemon peel and juice are used together. It is not recommended to treat these two elements as one, as the peel brings flavor, while the juice changes the taste with its acidity. No other ingredient is indicated in the original recipe as a substitute for rice. Changing the type of rice may alter the cooking time and the amount of liquid absorbed, so the dish would not follow the exact steps here. Variations The basic version contains rice, milk, sugar, raisins, and lemon. You can keep this combination unchanged if you want to follow the original recipe. A simple variation can be obtained by adjusting the amount of sugar for a less sweet or, conversely, sweeter dessert. It is a change of taste, not of procedure. You can also change the proportion of raisins, but keep in mind that one cup of raisins plays an important role in the taste and texture of the dish. With fewer raisins, the dessert will be less sweet and have fewer fruit pieces in each serving. Serving ideas Sweet rice with raisins can be served immediately after preparation while warm or after it cools. In both cases, it is helpful to stir it before portioning, especially if it has been sitting for a while and thickened. It can be placed in individual bowls or served directly from the multicooker pot after the dish has been allowed to settle. Lemon and raisins are already included in the recipe, so no other ingredients are needed to maintain the base flavor. Frequently asked questions 1. What program is used for sweet rice with raisins? In the original recipe, the PILAF program of the multicooker is used. The rice and milk are initially cooked for 15 minutes on this program. 2. When are the sugar and raisins added? Sugar, raisins, grated lemon peel, and lemon juice are added after the first 15 minutes of cooking, when the rice has boiled with the milk. 3. How much longer should the dessert be left after adding the ingredients? The mixture is left for approximately 10 more minutes. During this time, it should be stirred occasionally for even distribution of the ingredients. 4. Can it be served cold? Yes. The recipe can be served warm or after cooling. The texture usually becomes more cohesive as the dish cools, as the rice continues to absorb liquid. 5. How many servings does it yield? The source does not specify the number of servings. This depends on the size of the bowls and the amount placed at each serving. Nutritional values The values below are estimates for the entire amount and may vary depending on the type of milk, the exact size of the cup, and the actual amount of raisins and sugar used. For the entire recipe: Calories: approximately 2,100–2,300 kcal Carbohydrates: approximately 390–430 g Proteins: approximately 40–50 g Fats: approximately 30–45 g, depending on the milk used Fiber: approximately 8–12 g, mainly from raisins and rice An exact value for a serving cannot be calculated without knowing the number of servings. If the dish is divided into four equal servings, the estimate would be approximately 525–575 kcal per serving, but this remains indicative. Milk with a higher fat percentage will increase the energy value, and the calories mainly come from rice, sugar, raisins, and milk. Storage and reheating If not served immediately, the rice with raisins should be allowed to cool and then stored in the refrigerator in a suitable container. The source does not specify an exact storage interval, so it is better to consume it as soon as possible and check before serving. After cooling, the dish thickens. When reheating, stir it to even out the texture and heat only the amount that will be consumed. If the rice is already very thick, the consistency will not be the same as immediately after cooking, as the rice has absorbed some of the milk in the meantime.
