COLOMBIAN ARROZ CON COCO

Arroz con Coco

6-8 servings

1 tbsp.  Canola oil

2 cups long grain white rice

1 tbsp sugar

2 tsp salt

4 cups coconut milk

Roasted shredded coconut for garnish

Preheat oven to 400°F

Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat.  Add the rice, sugar and salt, and stir for 2 minutes.

Add the coconut milk and bring to a boil and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, until almost all liquid has evaporated.  Lower heat, cover and continue to cook until rice is done, about 15-20 minutes.

Roast coconut in hot oven on baking sheet for about 5 minutes.  Keep a close eye as it burns easily.
