Fill Up Before A Fast: Rice Pudding

Hey KS fans,

I have a friend that suggested I give a great rice pudding recipe for people to make before the fast. Rice Pudding and it’s many variations is the Israeli go-to pre-fast food. I happen to love rice pudding, though it is something that I rarely make or eat (high on the caloric side).

But before a fast, I can see where this stick-to-the-bones, creamy delicious dish would be just perfect. Load it up with lots of dried fruit and nuts for a great way to get some much useful potassium(keeps you from feeling weak) into your meal

Here is a great recipe that I have adapted from the Kosher Kettle Cookbook.

Have an easy fast!
