Coconut Rice
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch saffron (about 5-6 threads)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3⁄4 cup coconut milk
directions
- In a pot that has a tight-fitting lid, over high heat, add the rice, olive oil, salt, and saffron. Stirring with a wooden spoon, heat for 2-3 minutes until a few rice grains begin to brown on the edges. OPTIONAL: You may want to add a few ounces of shredded coconut at this stage.
- Being careful to avoid flare-ups and spill-overs, add the chicken broth and coconut milk to the hot pan. It will sizzle and bubble vigorously!
- Stir to loosen any rice on the bottom or sides of the pot and reduce the heat to low. Put on the lid and cook for 13 minutes.
- When 13 minutes are up, turn off the heat and let the covered rice sit for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and fluff with a fork before serving with any Asian, Polynesian, or Indian dish.

Wow!!! I'll definitely be making this one again and again. :) It really bothers me when someone gives a recipe a rave review, then they say, "However, I substituted this, this and this..." and the list goes on for 5 more pages, lol. I DID make a substitution, but it was only to switch the amount of broth and coconut milk (I used 1 c. coconut milk and 3/4 c. broth). Thanks for a great recipe David!

A cooking enthusiast since a young age, I worked for several restaurants to get myself through college. After graduating with a degree in History (Ancient Civilizations), though, I ended up going to work in the Internet and Journalism worlds. During this time, I kept experimenting.
I confess I do have diagnosed depression and anxiety, so my enthusiasm for cooking has flagged in recent years. It's difficult, at times, to find energy or drive. But every now and then I'll find something new to create and upload it, here.
Thanks for following me and hanging in there during this relative slow period in my life.
