Coconut Rice

Serves: 4

Difficulty:  Easy

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: ~30 Minutes

This rice has a very light flavor and pairs well with other curry-flavored veggies or tofu.

1 cup rice, rinsed

1/4 cup diced onion

1 can (14oz) coconut milk

1/4 cup water

2 slices fresh ginger root

2 teaspoons curry powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

In a medium saucepan, combine rice, onion, coconut milk, water, ginger, curry powder, and salt. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until done.

Notes

Basmati or jasmine rice gives this rice a subtle undertone.

Use light coconut milk to make this a little healthier.

Add some extra ginger, curry powder or cayenne pepper for an extra kick. A few teaspoons of ginger spice can substitute for fresh.

Like most rice dishes, this freezes well.
