Background
This creamy, sweet coconut rice with ginger makes a lovely breakfast, brunch, pudding or anytime snack. You can eat it warm or cold; serve it with exotic fresh or dried fruits, compote etc.Β It's gluten-free and dairy-free, so it's ideal for vegans and fits in many diets.
Ingredients
- 100g short grain rice (brown)
- 500 ml coconut milk (fresh)
- 30g unrefined soft sugar
- 2Β½ cm piece of fresh root ginger
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp fresh coconut chunks
- extra sugar
- Grated zest of Β½ lime or lemon
- To serve: dried or fresh mango , pineapple, papaya etc
Instructions
- Wash the rice thoroughly and drain.
- Peel and shred the ginger.
- Put the rice, coconut milk, almond milk, sugar and half of the ginger into a saucepan. Add the milk to cover the rice (add some water if the liquid is less than a couple of cm above the level of the rice). Bring to a simmer over a medium heat then reduce to low and cook until the rice is tender, stirring regularly (this will take about 30 minutes).
- Meanwhile, shred the coconut chunks. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the ginger and coconut for a few seconds until light brown, then sprinkle a little sugar on top, then let them caramelize. Set aside.
- When the rice is creamy, stir in the citrus zest and a squeeze of its juice, then take he pan off the heat.
- Serve with the caramelized ginger & coconut. Add some fresh or dried fruits if you like. Squeeze some more citrus juice over it if you like a more zingy flavour.
Tips
- You can add single cream for extra creaminess, if you like.
- This recipe can be adjusted to use up leftover rice - just warm up the rice in the coconut milk ( you'll need about half the above amount) and cook for 10/15 minutes until it becomes creamy.
