Ingredients
- 1 medium coconut in pieces
- 2 cups of rice
- 4 tablespoons of panela
- Water
- Salt
Preparation
Step 1. Blend
The first thing you should do is put the coconut in pieces without the shell in the blender. Add a little warm water to make it easier to blend. Once the coconut is completely liquefied, you have to strain it to get the coconut milk but keep the zest.
Step 2. Mix
Then you have to grate the panela and add it to the coconut milk with a little salt. Put these ingredients over low heat and let them reduce until the liquid disappears and a kind of coconut oil remains with some small brown pork rinds. This is what is popularly known as titoté.
Step 3. Blend again
Blend again the coconut zest that you had left in reserve but this time add the water necessary to prepare the rice. Put this mixture together with the titoté in a pot and let it cook a little.
Step 4. Add
Then add the rice to the pot, check for adequate salt, and let the rice cook completely.
Step 5. Enjoy
Once the rice is ready, it will be time to enjoy it, you can accompany it with a good fried fish, some fried plantains and green salad or avocado. You’ll love it!
