coconut lime rice

My fluffy, creamy and zesty Coconut Lime Rice with toasted coconut and cilantro is an easy side dish that is quick to make and will jazz up any meal!

Coconut Lime Rice

/ 1½ cups long-grain white rice (, Jasmine

400 mls / 13.5 oz canned coconut milk (, light or full fat)

salt

limes (, zest and juice)

/ ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut

cilantro (, OPTIONAL)

Rinse the rice well in a sieve until the water runs clear. Be sure to let it drain really well and shake out any excess water.

Add the rice to a medium saucepan. Pour in the canned coconut milk, water and salt. Zest the limes and add it to the pan. Set the limes aside to juice later.

Stir then set the heat to medium-high. As soon as it starts to bubble, just before it reaxhes a boil, turn the heat to low and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook for 10 minutes then turn off the heat and leave it alone for another 10 minutes. Do not open the lid at all during this time.

While you are waiting put the shredded coconut in a small pan (just dry, no need for any oil) and toast it over medium low heat. Keep it moving and remove from the heat as soon as it&#039;s starting to turn golden brown. It will only take a couple of minutes. Don&#039;t leave it alone during this time as it can burn very quickly.

Remove the lid from the rice. Squeeze over the juice from the 2 limes and fluff it up with a fork. Then add the optional cilantro and give it a quick stir through with the fork.

Sprinkle some of the toasted coconut over each serving of rice.

This sweet Coconut Rice recipe will take your meal to the next level! It is delicious, only requires 5 ingredients, and is ready in less than 30 minutes!

Been using this recipe for years now and it’s great. I use less salt, but that’s the only change I make. Pairs great with teriyaki chicken. I make “French toast fried rice” the next day with it- I fry it in coconut oil with a bit of cinnamon and additional brown sugar and it has French toast vibes.

WTF this rice is ridiculous! The usual ratio is 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of liquid. This is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of liquid. 30 minutes after starting it, I STILL have liquid in the rice and it's gross and gummy. What a waste of food! Do not recommend,

I LOVE this recipe. Such a simple upgrade from plain white rice, and the toasted coconut really brings it to the next level. I could eat this all day long. Next time I make it (which can't come soon enough), I plan to extend the cook time on mine by a few minutes. Not sure if it's an altitude thing, but the rice was still a little wet and just a smidge underdone with the 15 minutes. Still ate it all, though! Delish!

I made this tonight and it was delicious!  The recipe was easy. Everyone liked it. It does make a lot though, there were four of us and I had quite a bit left over. (We will eat it as leftovers but I may half it on occasion). I’ll definitely make it again.

I loved this coconut rice! My husband who isn't too keen on coconut really liked it as well. It had the perfect amount of coconut flavor, not too strong. Super easy to make and tasted great with teriyaki chicken.

This rice was absolutely amazing! 
Have you made it using the light cocunut milk?

very easy to make and yummy.  Would not change a thing!
