Easy Coconut Scallion Rice

Created by Kchurchill5 on June 26, 2013

1 cup rice, uncooked
1 1/2 cups milk, coconut
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup coconut, toasted (you can use sweetened or un-sweetened, see the note below)

Step 1: Rice ... Bring the coconut milk and broth up to a boil and add the rice. Reduce the heat to a simmer; and, cook according to package directions This usually takes 20-25 minutes, until all the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat, keep covered, and set to the side for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Step 2: Coconut ... As the rice cooks, toast the coconut. This can be done in a dry saute pan on medium high heat, it takes just a couple of minutes, stirring often. Or, you can also do it on a sheet pan in a 350 degree oven. It will take about 5-8 minutes.
Step 3: Note: I prefer to use sweetened coconut, it adds a nice flavor to the rice with the balance of the scallions; but, obviously you can use unsweetened too.
Step 4: Finish, Serve, and ENJOY! ... Use a fork to fluff the rice. Then, add the coconut, scallions, cilantro (which is optional); and, season with salt and pepper. My favorite - serve with mojo grilled chicken, or grilled citrus marinated seafood.
