Quick Coconut Rice With Black Eyed Peas

Monday, November 12, 2012 by Lolli 1 Comment

I needed something quick to serve with a Cuban-style shredded pork, and I thought of a tasty rice that my friend from Panama made for us when we ate at her house recently. Although my quick throw-together coconut rice didn’t taste anything like hers, it was absolutely perfect and a huge hit with the family.

This recipe pairs perfectly with a spicy shredded meat in a burrito...just an idea!
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 3 cups Instant rice
  • 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • ⅛ cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 2 Tbsp minced cilantro
  • 1 can black eyed peas, drained
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Add rice, liquids, and spices to a microwave-safe dish. Stir.
  2. Cover dish and microwave on high for 4 minutes.
  3. Stir in black eyed peas and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Let rice sit for 3-5 minutes before removing the lid. Stir before serving.
  5. NOTE: if you'd like your rice a little less coconutty, use one cup of coconut milk and 2 cups of water.

We ate this sweet coconut rice with Cuban-style shredded pork, wrapped in a burrito with a little bit of cheese and green peas. It was absolute perfection!

    This looks so good. I love coconut milk flavored food and I just bought a can of coconut milk yesterday. I actually found this while I was searching for a black eyed pea recipe…it is exactly what I needed!
