Coconut Rum Rice

This Coconut Rum Rice, beautifully fragrant and delightfully fluffy, makes a tasty side to any Caribbean dish, meat or fish alike!

Ingredients (serves 4):

2 cups long grain white rice

2 tablespoons desiccated coconut

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1/3 cup coconut flavoured rum (like Malibu)

2 cups water

Spoon rice in a rice cooker or saucepan. Add desiccated coconut and coarse sea salt; give a good stir. Stir in Coconut Flavoured Rum and water, and cook, according to rice cooker’s instructions or over medium heat, about 20 to 25 minutes, until all liquid is completely absorbed.

Serve Coconut Rum Rice hot, as a side to Jerk Chicken or with Coconut Cod Colombo.
