Recipe Sharing

I wanted to share some recipes!

Coconut Rice

1 cup organic basmati rice (white basmati takes less time to cook. Please soak or rinse several times to remove excess starch)
1 cup coconut milk
3/4 cup water
1 med onion chopped fine
1/2 cup of parsley or cilantro chopped fine
1 Tablespoon shredded ginger
1/2 unsweet organic coconut
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
2 Tablespoon butter

Sautee onions in oil and 1 Tablespoon butter until just past translucent.  Add ginger and rice and cook another 5 mintes.  Add milk and water and parsley and cook another 5 minutes.  Bring to a boil and then turn the heat back to simmer and cook until moisture is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Turn heat off and allow to sit 15 minutes.  Add 1 Tablespoon butter and fluff with fork.
Be creative!  Add what sounds good to you.  Remember, cooking is part scientific and part artistic!
