ARROZ CON COCO: COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Place the rice, 2 cups of water, the coconut milk, sugar and the salt in a medium saucepan and stir to combine. Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the water has evaporated to just below the level of the rice and little holes begin to form on the surface, stirring occasionally so that the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the saucepan and continue to cook until the rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the raisins. Cover the saucepan and let it sit off of the heat until the raisins are plump and warm, 10 minutes. Sprinkle the rice with the toasted coconut and serve.

ARROZ CON COCO

Steps:

• Se parte el coco con cuidado y se le saca el agua, la cual se aparta en un pocillo. Luego se saca el coco de su concha y se ralla con la corteza. Al terminar de rallar el coco, se le agrega el agua que se le sacó. Se exprime bien duro el bagazo y se obtiene un agua lechosa, la cual se cuela y se pone a fuego fuerte en una olla o en un caldero hondo, para conseguir que se queme ligeramente y se vuelva aceite. Esto no se debe dejar de rebullir porque se puede pegar y quemar. Mientras tanto, se le agrega a ese mismo bagazo las 5 tazas de agua caliente. Se exprime bien el bagazo y se cuela esta leche. (Se bota el bagazo). Estas 5 tazas de leche se le agregan a la grasa que está en la olla o caldero; se deja hervir; se le agrega sal al gusto y el arroz ya lavado. Se deja cocinar, sin tapar, hasta que se seque el agua. Cuando ya esté seco, se pone a fuego lento y se tapa. Se sirve cuando los granos estén bien abiertos.
