Ingredients
- 2 lb sugar pumpkin
- 11/2 cup white rice
- 3 cup water
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients
- Add water to a pot, cover with a lid and put on high heat. When water comes to a boil add rice, salt, mix well, reduce heat to a medium-low and cover with lid. Meanwhile, wash, cut the skin off and clean the insides of the pumpkin and grate it using a food processor or a hand grater and add to a rice pot together with sugar right away, mix well. Make sure that pumpkin mixture cooks at least 10 min together with rice.
- After 20 min pass check your rice. If water evaporated completely then its time to add coconut milk and cook for 5 more min. If rice mixture still has the liquid that did not evaporate yet cook for a couple more minutes until it completely evaporates and add the coconut milk after that.
- Mix well, serve warm. Can be kept up to 3 days in the fridge. Bon Appétit!
