Coconut Milk Basmati Rice

Making coconut rice is really simple and
it really requires little preparation time.
You can use any type of rice you like
I like to use Basmati rice for this dish.
For light and fluffy coconut rice,
be sure to rinse the rice first
to cut down on the starch so that the
flavor of the coconut can come through nicely.

Ingredients:
1 cup basmati rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pinch saffron (about 5-6 threads)
1 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup coconut milk

Directions:
In a pot that has a tight-fitting lid,
over high heat, add the rice,
olive oil, salt, and saffron.
Stirring with a wooden spoon,
heat for 2-3 minutes until a few
rice grains begin to brown on the edges.
Add the chicken broth and coconut milk to the hot pan.
Stir to loosen any rice on the bottom or sides
of the pot and reduce the heat to low.
Put on the lid and cook for 13 minutes.
When 13 minutes are up,
turn off the heat and let the
covered rice sit for 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork before serving.
