RECIPE: Arroz con Coco

This is a nice little Caribbean twist on your standard rice side dish.

ingredients:

-rice* (1 cup)
-water
-coconut milk
-raisins (1/2 cup)

what to do:

1) pour as much rice as you want into a pot
2) the ratio of liquid should be about 2 parts coconut milk, 1 part water (you can do it with more coconut milk and less water for a sweeter rice)
3) bring to a boil, stirring so as to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan
4) if liquid boils away and the rice is still a little hard, mix in more water until rice is soft.
5) fold in the raisins and let sit for a few minutes**

*brown rice is a more traditional option if you want a more authentic culinary experience
**an additional option is to also fold in some fresh coconut flakes
