A sweet and fragrant Venezuelan coconut rice, often served as a side dish, especially in coastal regions. It's simple to make and highlights the tropical flavors of coconut.
🧂 Zutaten
- 2 cups Long-grain white rice
- 400ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 60g Raisins
- 1/2 tsp Salt
👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
In a medium saucepan or pot, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer.
⏱️ 18-20 minutes - 4
Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Avoid lifting the lid too often during this stage. If the rice seems dry before it's cooked, add a tablespoon or two of water.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes to steam.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Gently fold in the raisins (if using) with a fork. Fluff the rice to distribute them evenly. Serve warm.
