Rice With Coconut
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion (1/2 lb.), chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper (1/2 lb.), stemmed, seeded, and chopped
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 can (14 oz.) reduced-fat coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons shredded fresh or unsweetened shredded dried coconut
- Salt and pepper
- In a 3- to 4-quart nonstick pan over high heat, stir oil and onion often until onion is limp, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and bell pepper; stir until pepper is limp, about 2 1/2 minutes.
- Add rice to pan and stir until grains begin to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add turmeric and stir about 30 seconds. Add coconut milk and broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat until rice is tender to bite, 20 to 25 minutes.
