Yesterday, we featured a Food & Wine recipe on how to cook spicy Okra and I mentioned how that dish goes really well with Coconut Rice. So here’s a really easy coconut rice recipe from About.com.

Easy Coconut Rice – Ingredients you will need (4 servings):

* 2 cups Thai jasmine-scented white rice
* 2 cups good-quality coconut milk
* 1 3/4 cups water
* 2 heaping Tbsp. dry shredded unsweetened coconut (baking type)
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1/2 tsp. coconut oil, OR vegetable oil
* Optional: 1-2 Tbsp. toasted coconut for garnish (see instructions below recipe)

Complete recipe HERE.
If you like to make the Coconut Rice Salad, you can find the recipe of that at Gourmet Recipe for One right HERE.

Both of these recipes are pretty easy, quick and very tasty.

Coming up tomorrow: Join me as we virtual travel together from this end of the rainbow to Ireland.
