Tropical Rice

By sandy_h

The sweetness of coconut and mango make a nice foil for chicken, fish and meat dishes.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 2 cups rice
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup fresh cubed mango
• 1 tsp fresh minced ginger
• ½ cup freshly chopped cilantro

Preparation

Step 1

Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in saucepan; add coconut and toast until golden. Remove coconut from pan and set aside. Heat remaining olive oil and add onion, cooking 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add rice and stir. Add broth, cover, and bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat; fold in mango, ginger and cilantro.
