"I now understand how varied the world of cultivated rice is; that rice can play the lead or be a sidekick; that brown rice is as valuable as white; and that short-grain rice is the bee's knees." -Yotam Ottolenghi, Chef
This version of Brown Rice is a perfect side dish for your favorite curry. You can use a variety of herbs – basil or parsley instead of the cilantro, maybe, and the green onions could be replaced by finely minced shallot or onion.
Servings: 2 | Serving size: about 1/2 cup cooked rice
Cooking Time: 45 Minutes
This recipe can easily be multiplied and makes good leftovers.
Shake the can of coconut milk very well before opening. (Tip: a can of coconut milk will contain about 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk. Separate the remaining two 1/2 cups of coconut milk into two small ziplock bags and freeze for a later use.)
In a medium sauce pan, heat the coconut milk, water, and salt. When the liquid boils, stir in the rice.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for about 35-45 minutes.
Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.
When a very small amount of liquid remains, remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Just before serving, stir in the green onions and cilantro.
