Arroz con Coco

5 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 cups coconut milk, homemade (page 584) or canned (about two 12- to 14-ounce cans)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, optional

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.
