Recipe: How To Prepare Perfect Nigerian Coconut Rice by VastFinder: 2:00pm On Jan 28, 2017
Tested and retested until perfection is literally achieved. I shared this coconut rice recipe to all our readers and to those who always like to read about out recipes.

Despite I'm a Male, I consider myself a Protégé when it comes to tutoring on How to prepare dishes, I optimize my recipes for simplicity and incredible depth of flavor. all while producing perfectly cooked separate rice grains.

I already have incredible recipes for Fried Rice, Jollof Rice. This coconut rice recipe should definitely be added to your Fav Note.

Ingredients
*. 2 cups parboiled rice (regular rice)
*. 1 tbspn Coconut oil
*. One 400ml can coconut milk (preferably Thai premium)
*. 1 small onion .
*. 2 medium tomatoes
*. Spices: 2 bay leaves, 1tspn white pepper, 1 tspn minced chili, 4 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 tspn dried), salt – to taste, 2 heaped tbspns crayfish powder, 1-2 stock cubes (optional)

Direction
*. Finely chop onion – set aside cut tomatoes into large chunks – set aside.
*. Mince chili pepper – set aside .

*. Place a wide cooking pot on medium heat. Add in 1 tbsp of coconut oil (subvegetable oil). Add in onion. Cook untiltranslucent and fragrant.

*. Add in tomato, minced pepper and spices. Stir. Cover and leave to simmer on low-medium heat for 10 minutes.

*. Add in coconut milk and one cup of water into the tomato mix. Stir. Cover and bring to a rolling boil. Stir. Taste and adjust for seasoning. .

*. Add in washed rice. Stir. Reduce heat to low-medium (4 on a marked cooker).

*. Place a sheet of foil over the pot. Place the lid over it and properly seal the edges with foil (this is a very important step).

Set a timer for 30 minutes and let it go! You have done all you can, let Jesus take the wheel here. Leave it alone! Don’t open the pot until time is up.

*. By covering the pot with foil & then a lid, you are able to get away with using less liquid. The rice grains are gently steamed & infused instead of being boiled. End result is perfectly separate & delicious grains.

Serve coconut rice with Peppered meat or chicken

Impressed but I'd pass on cutting the tomatoes into large chunks & using artificial coconut milk.

I'd rather crush the coconuts & extract the milk myself.

Where is the real coconut to be used or now all we do is synthetic and laboratory manufactured or processed foods.
How can one be cooking or making coconut rice with out a real coconut in it u are here writing one table spoon of coconut oil and 400ml of coconut milk.
Back in those day even now in my house, when ever my mum or I want to cook this dish. I use real coconut, grate it, and sieve.
Learn to cook and eat healthy, not always good to go all "processd food".
In the process of making this stuffs, some of these companies use substitutes that look like the main ingredient but not it.
For example, I have seen where a tomato paste manufacturing company uses pawpaw and other stuff instead of real tomatoes and we think we are getting the right nutrient from tomato paste not knowing it has little paw paw spirit in it.

I prefer using raw coconut to coconut oil.
Just grind raw(dry) coconut, filter with hot water to remove all the oil and juice. Then use the oil/juice to cook your rice.

Op that is fantastic

Re: Recipe: How To Prepare Perfect Nigerian Coconut Rice by wink2015(m): 2:13pm On Jan 28, 2017
The Coconut Rice is tantalizing! but I would also like to add my burger to the recipe!

Burgers are an American classic but they're often loaded with fat and calories. The good news is that there are a lot of easy ways to create delicious, low-calorie burger patties.
