Found both in the Caribbean and parts of Africa(like Benin), coconut rice is rich and fragrant. The strong flavor goes particularly well with grilled meats and spicy sauces. I like to use brown rice, but have to cook it 45 minutes, so I use a little more water and keep an eye on it. Adapted from Global Table Adventures.
Ingredients:
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
1 cup white rice
salt & pepper
Directions:
1. Heat coconut milk and water and bring to boil over medium heat.
2. Add rice and seasoning. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 16 minutes.
3. Uncover and let rest 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Serve immediately.
