Arroz Fácil y Perfecto de Coco y Jengibre

Ingredientes

• 1 cup long grain rice
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
• 1 1 in piece of ginger (peel and sliced into thirds)
• 1 cup water
• 3/4 cup coconut milk
• 2 medium limes (juice)
• 1 tsp kosher salt

Preparación

1. 1

   Rinse the rice thoroughly in a bowl using cold water and strain using a fine mesh sieve. Repeat this until water runs clear vs. the chalky white it will be initially.

2. 2

   In a large saucepan over medium heat the oil until beginning smoking. Add the garlic and saute, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Increase the heat to medium high, add the ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Stir in the rice, lime juice, water, coconut milk and salt, then bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce to low and cook until the rice absorbs the liquid, 15 to 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove and discard the ginger, then let the rice rest covered for 5-10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Add cilantro, taste and season with salt if needed.
