Oh, yum! My version of Trader Joe's. I was down to my last bag of TJ's Lime Pilaf and dreaded the long (2hr) drive for more. Decided to try to recreate, this is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy as much as I do! Cook times are approximate, you may need to adjust for your stove/cookware and elevation. Ingredients:
1 cup jasmine rice |
14 ounces light coconut milk (1 can) |
1/4 cup water or 1/4 cup chicken broth, plus |
1 tablespoon water or 1 tablespoon chicken broth |
1/2 lime, zest of |
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
1/4 teaspoon granulated onion |
1/8 teaspoon sugar (i use splenda) |
1 teaspoon fresh basil, slivered |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredints except basil in pot, stir over medium heat until reaches boil.
2. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes without lifting lid.
3. Remove lid, add basil and fluff with fork. Let sit, covered for 5 additional minutes.
4. If your rice seems sticky, a small squeeze of fresh lime juice stirred into rice will help.
