(Coconut Rice Recipe)

Ingredients : Serves 4-5

500 g

1 1/4 cups

2 1/2 teaspoons

Medium or long grain rice

Coconut milk

Salt

• Soak the rice in cold water overnight.

• Drain the rice, spread in top part of a steamer and steam over rapidly boiling water for 30 minutes.

• Halfway through steaming, stir rice and turn it so that the rice on the bottom comes to the top and vice versa.

• Gently heat the coconut milk with the salt in a large saucepan, stirring.

• Do not boil.

• Add the steamed rice, stir well, cover tightly and let stand for a further 30 minutes, by which time the milk should be completely absorbed.

• Once more spread the rice in top of steamer, bring water back to the boil and steam for 30 minutes, starting on high heat and gradually turning heat lower until in the end the water merely simmers.

• Serve hot with meat, poultry, fish or vegetable dishes, both mild and hot.
