--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/4           cup  long-grain white rice -- preferably
                         basmati or jasmine
   1              quart  low-fat milk
      1/2           cup  sugar
   2        tablespoons  chopped pistachios
   1         tablespoon  chopped dates -- optional
      1/8      teaspoon  rose essence
                         or 1/2 teaspoon rose water

Wash the rice in several changes of water; drain well. Combine rice and milk
in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until
the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sugar, pistachios and
optional dates. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pudding
is thick and reduced by half, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in
the essence.
Serve warm or chilled, in stemmed glasses. Keeps well for up to 5 days in a
covered container in the refrigerator. Serves 4.
