Papaya & Coconut Rice

This recipe for papaya & coconut rice is amazing by itself or is also great with a light fish like Tilapia.

Ingredients

2 cups white basmati rice
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (Not the light kind, the full fat one!)
1 can (13.5 oz) water
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
2 cups papaya, peeled, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350ºf

Rinse rice thoroughly to remove excess starch. This makes the rice fluffy not sticky

Add rice, salt, coconut milk and water in a baking dish. For 2 cups of rice an 8x8x2 pyrex or aluminum baking pan works well.

Cover rice with plastic wrap and then foil

Bake for 1hr

While rice is in oven mix papaya, cilantro and honey in a bowl and set aside

Remove rice from oven and add papaya cilantro mix and fluff with fork. Enjoy!
