Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 tablespoon Caribbean Calypso Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced scallion
  • 1/4 cup toasted shredded coconut

Equipment

  • 1 medium saucepan with lid
  • 1 fine mesh strainer for rinsing rice
  • 1 set Measuring cups for dry and liquid ingredients
  • 1 set Measuring spoons for oil, salt, and lime
  • 1 Fork for fluffing rice

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cool water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain well.
  2. 2. Warm the Caribbean Calypso Infused Olive Oil Blend and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. 3. Add the scallion and cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant.
  4. 4. Stir in the rice and toast it for 1 to 2 minutes, coating each grain in the oil.
  5. 5. Add the coconut milk, water, and salt, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  6. 6. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
  7. 7. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
  8. 8. Fluff the rice with a fork, then fold in the lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro.
  9. 9. Top with toasted shredded coconut and serve warm.

Notes

Rinsing the rice helps keep the texture light. Add the lime juice after cooking so the flavor stays bright. If the rice seems a little firm after resting, add a tablespoon of water and cover for 2 more minutes before fluffing.
