So simple to make, yet incredibly full of flavor, this Easy Coconut Rice recipe will quickly become a family favorite! I LOVE rice like my husband loves pasta, but I was getting bored of making it the same way.
I have had a mental block about using coconut in savory dishes forever. For me, coconut means sweet – ice cream, cookies, pie, you get the idea.
It was only when I made Sous Vide Mahi Mahi that I discovered a recipe for coconut rice, and I was intrigued. I really liked the recipe, but I hate cooking rice on the stove (I get way too distracted by everything).
I searched for other recipes and came across this gem from Sam and Dan over at Ahead of Thyme. You can learn more about them here. Such a beautiful family, and yet another terrific recipe! I previously made their Cranberry Apple Cobbler, which was divine.
I love this recipe because I can use my 3-Qt. Micro-Cooker Plus:
The 3-qt. Micro-Cooker® Plus cooks starchy side dishes like rice, quinoa, pasta, polenta, and potatoes in the microwave. It includes a boil-over guard that works with the lid to circulate liquids, so your microwave stays clean and free of spills.
