Wow, was this wonderful. Sweet, salty, spicy and tender. I loved all the flavors, separately and combined. This was quick and easy to make with terrific results. Kudos on making it into my Best of Cookbook for 2015. Thank you so much for sharing. Made for What's on the Menu? Tag Game. -
Although this time around I did pretty much follow the recipe (& loved every bit of it!) I'd try it with some homemade vegetable stock 'cause I know my vegetarian son & DIL would really enjoy it! I often add peas to the rice sides I prepare, but nothing as elaborate AND tasty as this one! Definitely a winner & a keeper! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe] -
A simple and delicious rice, easily prepared, lots of interest in the contrasting tastes and textures of nuts, peas and the underlying coconut sweetness. I omitted the actual coconut garnish, but love the flavour of coconut milk, we loved the addition of cilantro. Oh, and I used vegetable stock. A good complement to curry dishes, and I would enjoy this by itself! Thank you swissms, lovely!

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
