Coconut Coriander (Cilantro) Lime Rice

Paige Becker

Report

A classic coconut rice recipe, with the added freshness of lime and cilantro/coriander (can be omitted if you wish). I served this with Hawaiian Marinated Chicken (together, these recipes use 1 standard can of coconut milk). This makes enough rice to serve 4 as a side.
