The Parker's Coconut Rice

I am asked to make this more often than I'd like. It's so simple and bland, yet so surprisingly different and refreshing. If something has a bit of spicy heat to it, this is a way to balance the meal.

• Ready In: 22 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
• 1  cup water
• 1  cup long-grain rice (but whatever you have is fine)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley (whatever you have on hand) or 1⁄4 cup basil (whatever you have on hand) or 1⁄4 cup cilantro, chopped (whatever you have on hand)

Directions

1. Bring coconut milk and water to a boil with rice. Simmer, covered, about 20 minutes, stirring only 2 or 3 times until most of the liquid is absorbed.
2. Keep covered until ready to serve and stir in the herb you have chosen.
