ingredients

2 cups long-grain rice, well rinsed
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
lemongrass, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (use only the most tender part of the stalk)
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup cold water
¹⁄₂ cup toasted unsweetened flaked coconut

directions

Combine the rice, coconut milk, lemongrass, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add enough water to allow the liquid to cover the rice by 1 inch.
Bring to a boil; cover, lower the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Transfer rice to a serving bowl and remove the pieces of lemongrass.
Stir in the coconut flakes. Taste and, if necessary, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
