Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup basmati rice, rinsed
¼ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped, seeds and ribs removed
¼ cup carrot, finely chopped
¼ cup jalapeño, seeded and minced
4 teaspoons salt, divided
1 can Thai Kitchen® coconut milk
¼ cup water
24 oz cod fillets, pacific
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon McCormick® dried cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Lime wedge, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, bell pepper, carrots, jalapeño, 2 teaspoons salt, Thai Kitchen coconut milk, and water, then stir to combine. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, season the cod fillets on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, the pepper, and McCormick Dried Cilantro Leaves.
  • In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is almost smoking, lay each fillet in the pan. Sear until fish releases from pan with ease and is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using a fish spatula, flip each fillet and sear on the other side until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • To serve, scoop rice onto each plate and top with a cod fillet. Serve with lime wedges.
  • Enjoy!

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c jasmine rice
1/2 c coconut milk, unsweetened
1/2 c water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c mango, diced
1/2 c sweet onion or shallots, carmelized
1/4 c green onion, tops only
1/4 c sweet red pepper, chopped
**NOTE** FOR A LITTLE EXTRA FLAVOR SPRINKLE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF CINNAMON & NUTMEG.

Steps:

  • 1. Combine water, milk, and vanilla in a saucepan and add rice.
  • 2. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until rice has absorbed liquid, about 15-20 minutes. This may depend on the brand of rice you buy, so double check the directions.
  • 3. Stir in coconut, mango, Vidalia onion, green onion, and red pepper.

Tips

  • Wash and soak the rice: This helps remove excess starch, resulting in fluffy, separate grains.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk: It gives the rice a richer, creamier flavor and texture.
  • Add flavorings and spices: Experiment with different flavorings such as lime zest, lemongrass, or pandan leaves. For a savory dish, add a pinch of turmeric or cumin.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Coconut confetti rice should have a slight bite to it, so be careful not to overcook it.
  • Serve immediately: Coconut confetti rice is best served hot or warm. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
