Versatile and delicious rice dish for any meal - savory or sweet!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup uncooked regular long-grain rice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
  • 1 ripe papaya, peeled, seeded and chopped (1 pound)
Instructions:
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, bring all ingredients, except papaya, to a boil. Stir once or twice, then lower the heat. Cover and cook for 19 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat, fluff the rice with a fork, cover, and let it steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mash half of the papaya and reserve 2 tablespoons of chopped papaya. Stir the mashed papaya and remaining chopped papaya into rice. Heat while stirring occasionally until hot. Serve sprinkled with reserved papaya and, if desired, a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
