Description

A creamy and flavorful coconut rice that serves as a perfect side or main dish, customizable with your favorite vegetables or proteins.


Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (or oil of your choice)
  • 1 red onion (diced)
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp curry
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 stock cubes
  • ⅛ cup crayfish (blended)
  • 3 habanero peppers (seeded and diced)
  • 1 cup sweet peppers (chopped)
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 ½ cup rice (long grain parboiled, thoroughly washed)


Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté until it begins to lose its red color.
  2. Add the crayfish, peppers, curry, salt, oregano, stock cubes, habanero peppers, and sweet peppers. Stir for about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour the coconut milk into the pot and stir well to combine.
  4. Add the washed rice and stir to coat with the spices and coconut milk.
  5. Cook over medium heat for approximately 45 minutes, or until fully cooked and flavors are absorbed.

Notes

Allow rice to sit covered for an additional 10-15 minutes after cooking to enhance flavors. Adjust spices to taste, and consider adding vegetables for added texture.
