How to prepare: Rice with coconut milk
To make coconut milk rice, start by cooking the rice. Pour it into a pan covered with two fingers of water. The rice will cook and absorb water. The rice is ready when it unravels and reaches a consistency similar to that of our ‘polenta’. If water is absorbed but the rice is not yet well cooked, you can add hot water to continue cooking. 10 minutes before removing it from the heat (it must already be partially ‘undone’) add the coconut milk and continue cooking.
Once cooked, spread the rice in a pan, level it and let it cool completely.
Once cooled, cut the rice pudding into squares of the size you prefer and serve with the sauce you like best.
