If your looking for a way to jazz up your rice and try something new I have a super easy and tasty way to do so! Coconut Rice is simple and will add life to any dish. In just 20 minutes you can have a healthy new recipe to share with your family.
Ingredients
Coconut milk 2 cups
Water 2 cups
Rice (Jasmine perfered) 2 cups
Pinch of Sea Salt
Directions
1) Pour the Coconut milk, salt and water in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
2) Gently pour the rice in the pot and mix once to even it out. Turn down the temperature and place on the lid. Let it cook for 20 minutes.
3) Remove the lid and let the rice cool.
Once the rice is finished you can add vegetables and protein to make it a full and nutritious meal to enjoy. Coconut milk is lactose free so it’s a great alternative for cow’s milk. It also has a high fiber, calcium, sodium, and mineral content which cow milk often lacks. Lowering cholesterol, improving blood pressure and preventing heart problems are just a few of many health benefits of this super food! Let the Caribbean flavor take over your taste buds and don’t forget to let us know how you enjoyed your Coconut Rice below! Remember to stay irie my friends![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
