Grilled Mango Coconut Rice image

I made this with my Make Ahead Meatballs, Recipe #457810, the other night and I have a feeling I'll be cooking my rice with coconut milk a lot from now on. The rice can be made without the fruit as well, it is so delicious and creamy. This is a lovely side served with grilled chicken, fish or pork.
