MissMeiya:

People have suggested grating and squeezing, but I am with you, it sounds tedious. The coconut flavor from the rice I made was VERY pronounced, and I blended with 2 cups of water for 1 coconut, then strained. I even blended that same coconut twice more to make coconut milk for drinking, and the taste was still strong.

If you use a small knife to pluck the flesh from the coconut halves, you will get those pieces to blend.

thanks.. Can we add the blended shaff to the rice? Just to spice and make it look good

GentleMimi suggests sprinkling the rice with grated coconut. I think that sounds pretty good.

Thanks Op,i dey feel like superman as everybody just dey hail my cooking...its pretty straight forward..Please more.,and yea, blending its much easier,i tried grating, that na work...had to blend it

Please Op if you have more recipes please do share..want to learn how to make Afang soup!

That nice of you.

MissMeiya:

LOL! Feraz. How are you?

The stock is water from cooking meat.

My mother got me into the habit of cooking a lot of chicken in a biiig pot, and then drying the meat very well so it doesn't spoil. Then we cool the water with ice or in the refrigerator, and skim away the fat that floats to the top. That water, we then use for cooking various things, to add flavor (soups, stew, rice, etc). Same thing with the dried chicken.

But just cooking meat prior, and saving the water from the meat will do. Then add the COOKED meat to the liquid with the rice.

No water! Just coconut milk.

The brown part of the coconut (the skin) gets strained out of the milk.

I will try like you said and upload pictures...hopefully, it will taste as fine as the pictures to be uploaded. Thanks. BTW, I'm doing great...and you?

Coconut oil is very heavy oil....very fattening. So watch your Cals while drinking those milky juices.

Thanks OP, this is just perfect timing. Was looking for coconut recipe yesterday and this!

MissMeiya:
Thank youuu


Yeah, I think the coconut flavor is kind of delicate? That's why I think fresh coconut milk is best, and THICK coconut milk, with little to no other oils involved

Thank you

You have to grate or blend coconut flesh and strain it. Check the previous posts.

Coco nut sauce

Chillisauce: Coco nut sauce

Procedures pls??

Feraz: Procedures pls??

eh, i really dont like typing long .
Make sure you cook it after spending my time giving you this procedure

wash your beef in pot. add spice for boiling. salt, pepper, tiny chopped onion, with very small amount of water.

boil until soft,
add your coconut milk, chopped vegetable eg carrot, ball pepper [pls remove the seeds] and very little olive or veg oil.
once it starts boiling, add your knor cube and other spice you like. in this case i added a little curry and paprika, and flour for thickening.

boil for like 10 to 15min.
your prawn should come last, leave for like 2 min.

cest prete.

serve with rice.

MissMeiya:

This morning, I had a glass of the fresh coconut milk I made last night. Sooo good.


^{The thicker milk from the first straining, I used for the rice. The more diluted second and third straining, I kept aside to drink.}

Jehovah!! Is this an axe I see before my eye?



Nice recipe. Will try it soon.

Hi MissMeiya, wow, I am thrilled to know that my recipe turned out great for you. There is nothing as good as using fresh coconut milk in making your coconut rice.Thanks for the mention and fee free to share extra tips with me.
