Coconut Rice Recipe – Jamaican Foods and Recipes

This coconut rice recipe is a flavorful and easy to make side dish that goes well with any meal.

The jamaican white rice coconut milk is a recipe for jamaican coconut rice. It’s easy to make and tastes delicious!

This is a simple and fast recipe for coconut rice with few ingredients that produces a delicious side dish. This coconut rice is “shelly” and pleasant, and it pairs well with your favorite main course. 

What Is Rice with Coconut and How Does It Work?

When we prepare white boiled rice in Jamaica, we don’t use water, butter, or salt. Although this meal complements many of our main courses, particularly curry chicken, I find that simple boiling white rice bores me.

One method to “spice up” my basic white rice meal is to use coconut rice. It’s just as quick and straightforward to make, but it tastes much better (in my humble opinion).

What Are the Ingredients for This Recipe?

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this quick rice recipe!

• I used simple cook long grain rice, but you may use whatever rice you want.

• Coconut milk: I use fresh coconut milk, but canned milk may be substituted if fresh coconut milk is too much for you.

• Coconut oil: Use this to lubricate the pot and keep the rice from burning.

• Scallions are added for flavor. I’ve also used dried thyme. Don’t cut anything.

Coconut Rice Cooking Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients and cook for approximately 20 minutes on the stove.

Coconut rice goes well with brown stew, curry goat, or steamed cabbage.

This rice dish is so adaptable that it may be served with just about anything. The sweetish flavor of the fresh coconut milk goes nicely with a savory main dish.

Variations

This coconut rice may be prepared in a variety of ways.

Adding butterbean to this rice dish is one of my favorite ways to prepare it. I typically use canned beans, which I add just before the rice.

Other times, I’d use scallion, thyme, and onion to season the rice. I don’t like for onions, so I don’t make this very often, but it’s a wonderful way to break up the monotony of boiling rice.
