Warm, creamy, comforting and healthy in my book, this is a riff on Paula Deen's Coconut Mango rice. It matches the health-benefits of coconut milk with those of brown rice. Sodium is reduced from her recipe as well. I served this with roasted, caramelized red onion, butternut squash, eggplant, beets and a simple roast chicken. Use a nicely ripened mango. *The nutrition values are not correct, 2 servings of this rice should yield approx 340 calories a piece, you can reduce the calories further by using light coconut milk. Ingredients:
1 cup coconut milk |
2 tablespoons water |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup instant brown rice |
1 mango, diced |
Directions:
1. Heat coconut milk, water and salt to boiling in a medium pan. 2. Add rice and mango and return to boil. 3. Cover and lower heat to simmer. 4. Simmer 5 minutes. 5. Stir, replace cover and place pot off-heat for 5-8 minutes to steam. 6. Rice is ready when the liquid is mostly absorbed and the grains have lost their bite. |
