Coconut Rice With Peas image

Traditional accompaniments for jerk chicken are savory rice with crowder peas or red beans, plantains, sweet potatoes or yams, and a fried corn bread called festival. I had the idea to make my rice with coconut milk and fresh spring peas, which may not please purists, but it's delicious.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups basmati rice (20 ounces)
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh jalapeño including seeds (from 1 chile)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups packed fresh cilantro sprigs
4 scallions, chopped (1 cup)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Wash rice in several changes of cold water in a bowl until water is almost clear. Soak rice in cold water 30 minutes, then drain well in a sieve.
  • Spread coconut in a shallow baking pan and toast in oven, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Cook ginger and jalapeño in 1 tablespoon oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until chile is softened, about 2 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil, covered. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
  • While rice cooks, pulse together coconut, cilantro, scallions, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until finely chopped.
  • Add cilantro mixture to cooked rice and stir gently until combined well.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh coconut milk and cilantro.
  • If you don't have cashews, you can substitute another type of nut, such as almonds or peanuts.
  • To make the rice more flavorful, toast it in a pan before cooking.
  • If you don't have a steamer, you can cook the rice in a pot of boiling water. Just reduce the cooking time by about 5 minutes.
  • Serve the rice with your favorite curry or stir-fry.

Conclusion:

Coconut cilantro rice with peas and cashews is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of coconut milk, cilantro, peas, and cashews gives the rice a unique and flavorful taste that will complement any meal.
