This is not a supportive dish- while it’s full of good fats and healthy carbs, there is minimal protein.  if your goal is fat loss, eat this only as your cheat meal, if you’re allowing yourself them; I suggest this only if you’re maintaining your weight.  Otherwise, this is a good side dish, VERY DELICIOUS, but eat wisely, and using moderation.

Coconut Basmati Rice

I have a rice cooker, and simply mixed the following up for my LOST Season 6 Premiere extravaganza- set it and when it popped up as “done,” I removed from the heat!

If you don’t have a rice cooker, simply combine the water, coconut milk, and a sprinkle of salt in a heavy large saucepan. Bring to simmer, then stir in rice. Cover, and leave it slight opened for steam to escape. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 12 minutes. Cover tightly, remove from heat, and let stand 10 minutes. Transfer rice to bowl; sprinkle with toasted coconut or sesame.

AMAZING!  And definitely qualifies as something you can take with you as you hop from time-period to time-period (yes, this is a reference to LOST), and a perfect compliment to Island Boar.
