  • 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk*
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • Chopped cashews
  • Instructions:
  • Combine the rice and coconut milk in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • Use in your favorite recipe that calls for coconut rice, or stir in the salt, lime juice and zest, and cilantro. Season to taste. Sprinkle with cashews and serve as a side dish.
