Coconut Rice

September 9, 2009 By Kristen Feola

Coconut Rice

Coconut Rice

This main dish recipe is slightly sweet with a hint of lime. It's unique and flavorful, containing a nice amount of protein from the beans and nutritious carbohydrates from the sweet potatoes.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dry brown rice
  • 1 cup dry wild rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 14- ounce can unsweetened coconut milk (about 2 cups)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled, diced and cooked (about 3 cups)
  • 1 cup sweet peas, cooked
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Chopped macadamia nuts, optional

Instructions
 

  • Rinse rice in a fine mesh sieve to remove the surface starches (it's what makes your rice sticky). Mix water, coconut milk, rice, and salt in a large saucepan. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook, uncovered, until liquid evaporates, about 40-45 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking prepare the rest of the ingredients. Keep vegetables and beans warm. When rice is finished, add remaining ingredients. Stir well, and serve immediately.
  • Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 1 cup)

Notes

  • Mix in chopped macadamia nuts before serving.
  • You can use all brown rice instead of half wild rice.
  • Substitute carrots or butternut squash for the sweet potato.
  • Coconut milk is a highly nutritional food with many health benefits. All you have to do is a quick search online, and you will find of long list of reasons why it's good for your body: 1) The saturated fat in coconut is made up of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids that the body quickly turns into energy instead of storing as fat., 2) It contains many vitamins, minerals and electrolytes such as potassium, calcium and chloride, 3) Coconut milk is a dairy-free alternative to those who are lactose intolerant or allergic to animal milk, and 4) It's known to relieve the symptoms of sore throats and ulcers.

Made this recipe last night and all I can say is delicious. I put a dash of season salt in my serving it sent it over the top for me. I hope that is allowed. God bless you and your family.

what are sweet peas? I’m thinking they’re just regular frozen baby peas, but wanted to make sure. Thanks! Love this site!

Loved this recipe! It makes a good bit so I didn’t have to cook for a few days. Got my hubby to try it and his only remark was it needs more seasoning… He thinks everything should be served with a ton of pepper. I’m so thankful for your recipes.

Thank you for your comments, DeAnn. I like a lot of pepper, too, so I understand. My recipes tend to be written on the conservative side, though. You can always add more spice or flavor, but you can’t take it out once it’s there.

girl reading bible“Before you pray, bow quietly before God, just to remember and realize who He is, how near He is, how certainly He can and will help. Just be still before Him, and allow His Holy Spirit to waken and stir in your soul the childlike disposition of absolute dependence and confident expectation.” – Andrew Murray
