SO HOW'D IT GO?
I made this tonight using 2 (13.5oz) cans of regular coconut milk, a cinnamon stick, 2 cups of brown rice, and 1/4tsp of ground nutmeg. Topped it with fresh ripe mango! AMAZING!!! This is going in my arsenal of recipes for quick, tasty, treats! LOVE!!!
Loved this, but I too needed more coconut milk and a little brown sugar. This was soooo goood! :)>>>
Has anyone tried cooking the rice (with the coconut) in a rice steamer rather than on the stove top? Please share your thoughts.
I think this would make a wonderful breakfast.
I def needed more coconut milk as it needed to be a little sweeter and the rice didn't have long enough to cook. Other then that I love it and will make it again with more coconut milk and I might try it with peaches.
I used regular coconut milk too, one can, with 1 c of jasmine rice and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. I've had terrible luck with mangos here, so I thawed some of TJ's frozen mango/raspberry/blueberry mix to have with it. I also sweetened the rice a little, because the nutmeg taste was a little strong for me. Tasty! Coconut rice is so good.
yam. I halfed the recpie, add a bit sugar and used canned mango. it was tasty, a good breakfeast or dessert. for half of the recpie I got only one singal dish.. not as mentioned. all in all a good dish.
OK. I made this tonight but with texmati and I thought it was pretty good. My daughter did not like it at all. Next time I'm gonna try to add a little vanilla.
