We had this tonight with tuna steaks. The rice was the highlight of the meal. It was fine with the peas, but it would be just as good without them, I'm sure. A keeper. -
This was so nice and warm and creamy! It was extremely easy to make and our family had it with another recipe "Island Pork Stew" which had lovely chunks of fresh pineapple. That, coupled with the rich, creamy coconut rice, made a good night at our house on this chilly fall evening! -
This is the first time I've ever made other then plain rice or fried. I loved taste the coconut milk gave the rice. And the addition of the peas added nice color to an otherwise plain dish. I made this for my daughter, her date and 5 other of her friends that came over to have their dinner here before Prom this spring. They thought it was pretty cool eating dinner with my fine china and linens. Oh yes, I even had my set of double candlesticks on the table for them.

I am 30 years old. I am married and have a wonderful family. My hubbie is the greatest. We have a 2 1/2 year old little girl. Her name is Lizzie Belle. I have pics if anyone wants to see. I work for a bank in Brandon, MS. My hubbie is a police officer in Jackson. I have a great cookbook that is called "Any Blonde Can Cook". It is awesome. I love to cook...when I have the time. My family keeps me pretty busy though. I enjoy reading books, going to the movies, traveling, spending time with my family, cooking, playing with Lizzie Belle, tanning, and getting my nails done.
