Coconut flavored rice, the perfect accompaniment to curry.
1. In a large, deep-sided pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
2. Add the coconut milk, water, salt, sweetener, and flavoring if using. Stir well. Bring the rice to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from burning.
3. When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Place the lid askew on the pot, allowing some of the steam to escape. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all (or nearly all) of the coconut-water.
4. Turn off the heat. Cover the pot tightly with the lid and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes, or until you are ready to serve. When you are ready to serve, fluff the rice with a fork or chopsticks. Top with toasted coconut if desired.

I made this just to go with some grilled chicken and it was awesome. I cannot wait to make it with an Asian dish. My husband and all 4 kids liked it.
This was a great rice recipe! I didn’t have coconut oil on hand so I used olive oil as a sub and it still turned out great. Definitely a keeper of a recipe, thanks!

I made this tonight to serve with Chicken Curry and it was incredible. I will absolutely add this to my “must make” file.
