FEATURED CHAC ARTIST

Shantel Lucero

I am a self taught Artist from Denver, CO. Art has helped me heal and express myself freely. My goal is to one day become known around the world for my art and I hope to inspire other artists to create. Each piece tells a story about me or was created for someone special in mind.

RECIPE FOR THE MONTH

Mexican Rice Pudding
(Arroz Con Leche)

RECIPE COURTESY OF MARCELA VALLADOLID
www.foodnetwork.com
(CHAC staff favorite)

7 cups water

1 cup long-grain white rice

One 4-inch cinnamon stick

One 12-ounce can evaporated milk

One 14-ounce can condensed milk

1 cup whole milk

3/4 cup golden raisins

Ground cinnamon, for dusting

Put the water, rice, and cinnamon stick in a medium-size heavy saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and cook until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Strain out the liquid, discard the cinnamon and reserve the rice. Return the rice to the saucepan. Stir in the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick, about 20 minutes. Add the raisins, and stir well. Transfer the pudding to a serving bowl. Dust the top of the pudding with ground cinnamon and serve.

CHAC Gallery & Cultural Center was founded in 1978 by a group of visual and performing artists. The organization was established as a place where Chicano/Latino artists were provided with a venue to explore visual and performance art and promote and preserve the Chicano/Latino culture through the expression of the arts.

CHAC is an inclusive community of creatives that are dedicated to preserving, showcasing, educating and reflecting the essence of Chicano/a/x, Latino/a/x and other multicultural/multiracial communities.
