Ingredients:

  • 100 ml coconut milk
  • 125 g long grain white rice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 50 g dried grapes
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened grated coconut
  • 20 g brown sugar
  • Salt, pepper

Instructions:

  • In a saucepan over low heat, pour some of the coconut milk, then mix by scraping the bottom of the saucepan with a wooden spoon.
  • As the liquid reduces, it thickens and the coconut oil begins to separate from the milk.
  • Continue stirring until a thick dough is obtained and small pieces appear.
  • When the pieces turn brown, add the rest of the coconut milk, water, rice, dried grapes, sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Simmer and cover until the mixture dries out and the rice is cooked.
  • If the rice is not cooked and the liquid has dried, add a little water.
  • In the meantime, toast the grated coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat.
  • Stir regularly to avoid burning them.
  • Add the coconut to the rice, then check the seasoning.
