Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups basmati rice long grain, white
- 1 (15-oz) can coconut milk full-fat
- ½ cup water
- 1 Tbsp lime zest two limes zested
- 1 Tbsp lime juice fresh
- 2-3 Tbsp maple syrup pure, to taste
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
Instructions
- Soak the rice in cool water for at least 15 minutes (up to 12 hours). This process helps remove lectins and arsenic. Use the lid of the pot to drain out the water.
- Transfer all of the remaining ingredients to the pot and give everything a good stir. It's okay if the coconut milk has solid chunks. They will melt as the cold water becomes hotter. Cover the pot and bring it to a full boil on the stove top over high heat. Once boiling, stir the rice mixture until it is creamy. Replace the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or go by the time listed on the package of white rice.
- Once rice has finished cooking, immediately remove the lid and fluff rice with a fork. Serve coconut lime rice with your main dish and enjoy!
- Store leftover rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
