Ok....my sweet tooth hit overdrive tonight and I wanted my dinner to reflect that! I didn't want to wait for dessert for the good stuff....so here is a recipe that I found from President's Choice that definitely satisfied my need for sweet....but not overkill! This IS actually a dessert but I needed something to go with my Lemon Chicken and Fresh Snow Peas...so I decided that this would fill the empty spot on my plate. While I was waiting for my chicken to finish cooking, I was sampling this Jasmine Rice delight...and it was mighty hard to wait to put it on the plate! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups water |
1 cup jasmine rice |
14 ounces coconut milk |
1/4 cup brown sugar (packed) |
1/2 cup pineapple (diced) |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil in a medium sized pot.
2. Stir in the rice and reduce heat to low.
3. Cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until water is absorbed (stirring occasionally),.
4. In a separate saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
5. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
6. Add 1/2 of the coconut milk mixture to the cooked rice.
7. Let the rice stand for about 15-20 minutes.
8. Then add the diced pineapple and remainder of the coconut milk to the rice.
9. Optional: added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the top of the rice when serving.
