This delicious side dish goes beautifully with any kind of fish, chicken, pork or beef. And the best part is that this coconut rice dish cooks up in minutes.
It’s also got some heat to it. You can vary it of course by adding more jalapeños or less. Just dice them up fine like I do to spread that flavor through out the dish.
Warning, when you are working (dicing, chopping) with jalapenos, do not touch your face or you might be sorry. The oils in the pepper can really burn you, even on your hands. You may even want to wear food handling gloves while cutting these up.
In any case, be sure and wash your hands after handling these.
There are just a few ingredients in this recipe. You can use full fat coconut milk or the lite version.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
2 jalapenos, minced
2 tsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
lime zest from one lime
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups lite coconut milk
