Healthy Coconut Rice
- 1¾ c. Light Coconut Milk (canned)
- ¼ c. Filtered Water
- 1 c. Organic California Basmati Rice*
- 1.5 tbsp. Natural Maple Syrup
- ¼ c. Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- Measure 1 cup of dry rice and rinse well. Set aside.
- In a pot, add the coconut milk, water and maple syrup, then stir to combine well.
- Add the rice to the pot and stir in lightly and only for a second.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then change to low heat and place on pot cover.
- Let the rice cook for 20 minutes without touching it. If you lift the pot cover or move the rice, it will come out mushy.
- While the rice is cooking, heat a pan over medium heat and add the shredded coconut. Stirring frequently, cook until browned.
- Once the rice is finished cooking, move off from heat and let stand for another 10 minutes (do not remove the pot top)
- Next, fluff the rice with a fork and fold in the toasted coconut.
- Enjoy!
