Coconut rice, would you be allured or repelled?

[Slubberdegullion]

To go with Carribean-ish buffet party menu jobber.

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

It sounds delicious, and I shall be trying it out very soon!!

[Slubberdegullion]

It was lovely, complimented the richness of the pork and the hot/spicy curries and sides beautifully. Will be doing it again deffo.

[WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes]

I like the sound of it - never tried it but I love coconut based curries, Thai etc with rice. I hate it in sweet things though, biscuits, cereals etc.

[Slubberdegullion]

Coconut rice a big success so thank you all for being so vocally allured by it.

[Devora]

I love coconut rice. Almost more than I love my children.

[cheesesarnie]

sounds amazing.

[whois]

+1 I LOVE coconut rice. Yum-o.

[EnglishGirlApproximately]

Allured here too - LOVE Caribbean food! Can I come for tea please? I make a great rum punch with nutmeg, the perfect drink to go with your feast {grin}

[Slubberdegullion]

Oh not a trolley. Am working my way up to a trolley. Really need a house with a dining room to warrant getting a trolley. No I have just a tray.
I never had the Sindy version either

[GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan]

lol at hostess trolley.

My Sindy doll had one of those. It had little silver plastic tureens filled with carrots and peas (lost by Boxing day of course).

[Slubberdegullion]

Goodness me. Am I going to have to be batting folk away from my buffet table warming tray as I reveal the rice from the cunning warming shelf within?

[GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan]

The thing is with coconut rice is that it's like stuffing, parsnip puree and cheesey mashed potato - it's the kind of thing you can eat straight out of the pan with a wooden spoon standing up by the cooker, sod everyone else.

[GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan]

I don't have a recipe really.

Fry onion and garlic until soft, add a teaspoon of allspice and a chopped scotch bonnet (you can leave the chilli out). Add some thyme if you have it (I sometimes forget). A can of black eyed peas (drained). Then throw in some washed basmati, and a can of coconut milk and some water (use about 200g of rice) and cook on a low simmer until it's done. Loads of salt.

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

[nilbyname]

I need the recepie (sp?!) please, that sounds delicious.

[Slubberdegullion]

Wow, the love is strong for this stuff.

Go Coconut Rice!

[Slubberdegullion]

OK I see about the peas thing.

Ta for assistance, will go with the coconut.

[JustAHolyFool]

Oh I LOOOOVE coconut rice.

LOOOOVE.

[iseenodust]

Yum coconut rice. Had some in a restaurant recently and they put twiddley coconut shavings on top (was with Malaysian curry).

[GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan]

Oh, if they are in the curry then no.

But that's what I meant about rice and peas (not birds eye green garden peas, in this context it refers to beans which go in the rice).

God I am hungry now.

[Slubberdegullion]

Oh, do I need to add beans to the rice too? Black beans going into the curry.

Recipe is just softened onions in butter, rice and coconut milk.

[GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan]

No, don't bother with the microwave bloody hell. It just takes the normal basmati time ime. I would recommend that you don't use kidney beans though - skin's too tough ime. Black eyed peas would be better.
