Arroz con Coco

Directions

1. 1
   Combine the coconut milk and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. 2
   Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, and cook until the mixture darkens in color, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. 3
   Add the rice and salt, then cover; adjust the heat so the mixture simmers gently.
4. 4
   Cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes; let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
5. 5
   During that time, if you like, toast the coconut in a dry skillet, shaking occasionally, until lightly browned.
6. 6
   Stir into the rice just before serving.
