Coconut Rice

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice like Jasmine or Basmati
• 1 1/2 cups coconut milk + 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• Salt to taste

Method

Heat the oil in a saucepan.

Add the rice and stir for a couple of minutes until the grains start to turn opaque.

Add the coconut milk, water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, cover tightly with a lid, and simmer until done for 15 minutes. Leave the lid on for at least another 10 minutes after cooking before you handle the rice.

With a fork, gently fluff up and mix the grains with any of the coconut-milk solids that might have separated to the top.
