Arroz De Coco Recipes

Steps:

• Place the rice, 2 cups of water, the coconut milk, sugar and the salt in a medium saucepan and stir to combine. Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the water has evaporated to just below the level of the rice and little holes begin to form on the surface, stirring occasionally so that the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the saucepan and continue to cook until the rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the raisins. Cover the saucepan and let it sit off of the heat until the raisins are plump and warm, 10 minutes. Sprinkle the rice with the toasted coconut and serve.

Steps:

• Thin the coconut milk with the water.
• Add the rice, salt and cinnamon.
• Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is done.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut and seed the papaya, then finely dice it. Mash half of the dice and keep the other half as-is.
• Put both the mashed papaya and the diced papaya into the rice and mix, warming over the stove.

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed large saucepan heat the oil over medium heat; drop the onions and green pepper in it and cook, stirring frequently, for about five minutes or until they are soft but not browned.
• Add the rice and stir for two to three minutes more, until the rice is evenly coated; then stir in the coconut milk, tomatoes and salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Cover the pan tightly, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender but not mushy.
• Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the chilis and taste for seasoning adding salt if needed; cover again and let rest for 10 minutes before serving; fluff before serving.
