This recipe for papaya & coconut rice is amazing by itself or is also great with a light fish like Tilapia.
Ingredients
2 cups white basmati rice
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (Not the light kind, the full fat one!)
1 can (13.5 oz) water
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
2 cups papaya, peeled, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350潞f
Rinse rice thoroughly to remove excess starch. This makes the rice fluffy not sticky
Add rice, salt, coconut milk and water in a baking dish. For 2 cups of rice an 8x8x2 pyrex or aluminum baking pan works well.
Cover rice with plastic wrap and then foil
Bake for 1hr
While rice is in oven mix papaya, cilantro and honey in a bowl and set aside
Remove rice from oven and add papaya cilantro mix and fluff with fork. Enjoy!
