Servings: 6
Calories: 706kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups of rice
- 2 coconuts both flesh and water
- 3 tablespoons of brown sugar or panela
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- Raisins to taste optional
- 7 cups of water including coconut water
Instructions
- Cut the coconut flesh into small pieces. Blend it with the coconut water and 2 cups of warm water. Once blended, strain this milk and set the residue aside.
- Pour the strained coconut milk into a pot and add the sugar. Boil on medium heat until the water evaporates, leaving only the coconut oil and the black granules, known as titote.
- Blend the set-aside coconut residue with another five cups of water. Add this mixture to the same pot with the titote cooking on medium heat. Add salt and washed rice, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- When the rice starts drying out, add raisins, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Enjoy!
