Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stalk fresh lemongrass, outer leaves peeled, 3-inch-long piece cut from root end and sliced in half lengthwise
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup water
2 to 4 fresh or frozen kaffir lime leaves
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped, plus several sprigs for garnish
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the lemongrass, 1 3/4 cups coconut milk, the water, kaffir lime leaves, and salt. Heat over medium-high heat until milk just begins to simmer. Stir in rice, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover; cook until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Stir in nuts, cilantro, and remaining 1/4 cup coconut milk; season with pepper. Discard lemongrass. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro sprigs.
