Rice and coconut milk are quite the combination. This rice recipe calls for only 6 ingredients but do not be deceived. The flavor of the rice overwhelms and sharpens your senses all at the same time.  The fresh lime adds a contrasting flavor and really balances this wonderful side dish.

1 cup jasmine rice

1 cup unsweetened coconut milk, well shaken

2 teaspoons grated fresh lime peel

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Combine all of the ingredients with 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan over high heat.

2. Cover and bring to a boil.

3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all of the liquid is absorbed.

Makes 6 servings.
