Method

step 1

Tip the rice into a wide pan and warm over a low heat. When it starts to crackle, stir in the cinnamon and 225ml water. Cover and simmer for 15 mins until the water is absorbed.
step 2

Add the milk, vanilla and bay leaf, and continue to simmer, uncovered and stirring often, for 35-40 mins until the rice is tender and the milk has reduced to a creamy consistency.
step 3

Leave to cool for 5 mins, then spoon two portions into small serving bowls. Top each portion with a few pomegranate seeds and half of the chopped walnuts. Will keep chilled for up to three days. Loosen with a splash of milk before serving cold or warm.
