Coconut Rice and Quinoa
Coconut rice and quinoa blends creamy coconut milk with toasted coconut and quinoa for a fluffy, nutty side or light meal.
This pot of grains is rich, sweet, nutty and full of textures. Start by toasting coconut flakes with raw quinoa for an optional crisp topping, then steam rice and more quinoa with coconut milk. The floral quality of the coconut tempers any bitterness of the quinoa, and cooking rice and quinoa together makes a fluffy, light combination. Serve this as a side to laab, tofu or dal; or make it a meal with a fried egg, lime, and hot sauce.
