Coconut Rice

"you put the lime in coconut and shake it all up.  You put the lime in the coconut and drink em both up..."

Still using my milk:

2 cups Coconut Milk
1.5 cups brown rice
Kosher Salt
Soy Milk (1/4 cup at a time... I used about 3/4 cups total)

Not sure what this does but I followed directions (somewhat) and homogenized the coconut milk in my blender on pureeing for about 15 seconds.
Mixed coconut milk, rice, salt and 1/4 soy milk in pot.
Bring to a rapid boil.
Stir and salt occasionally.
Add more soy milk as needed and remember brown rice takes longer!

It was GOOD. 
I didn't know what it would be like but I'd eat it again.
Add something spicy or green as a side. 

Milk choices (I don't like either of them plain)

Homogenized

Before Boil

At Boil

Almost Done!

Coconut Milk

... I finally got around to buying some so I could test it out and attempt to switch but it is GROSS (drinking plane that is).  I bought a coconut water can today and plan to try that tomorrow.  So, we have a container of coconut milk now and I need things to make with it. 

We tried out Potatoes Baked in Coconut Milk last night.
It was really delicious!  I added lots of habanero powder, and used curry paste instead of powder because we didn't have it.  I forgot to get a finished product picture :(

Look Close at sauce on bottom... yummy flavor!

I also made some beautiful brussel sprouts! 

Just chop of ends and slice in half
Add oil, salt, pepper, and some butter
Sliced Onions
Sliced sweet peppers
Cover on medium heat and simmer (about 20 minutes)
Stir occasionally



The Curry Paste container is in the background



IF you have any Coconut Milk recipes or ideas for me, please pass them on. Thanks :)
