Coconut Rice – gluten free

I made this last week for breakfast and the kids really liked it, and when I made it again this week they still were very enthusiastic.  So I guess it’s a keeper!

Coconut Rice

  • 1 c. coconut milk (unsweetened)
  • 1 c. water
  • 1 c. brown rice (I soak it overnight in an acidic medium – did something different this time that I’ll share about later this week)
  • 1 thin slice of peeled fresh ginger
  • 3/4 t. sea salt

Bring the coconut milk and water to boil, then stir in the remaining ingredients.  Cover and cook on a low heat until all the liquid is absorbed.  When the rice is finished, you can sprinkle 1/3 c. shredded coconut over it.

This can be a nice side dish or a light breakfast when served with a piece of fruit.

    I’m definitely making this recipe. I’ve made so many dishes (e.g., chicken pot pie, chicken and rice casserole) with coconut milk lately and we have loved them all.

    Thanks!
