It certainly didn't disappoint. The rice is not overly sweet or coconuty (is that a word?). It's the perfect accompaniment to these rum glazed skewers of shrimp that I made (which I'll include in a seperate post) and would be a big hit at a summer BBQ.
Jason is not a big rice fan (while I could eat a bowl of buttered rice for every meal) and he ate this up. Big hit in our house!
Coconut Rice
2 cups long-grain rice (basmati rice)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 (13- to 14-oz) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup water
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon salt
Rinse rice in a sieve under cold running water 2 to 3 minutes, then drain well.
Melt butter in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan over moderately high heat. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, until it becomes opaque, about 3 minutes.
Stir in coconut milk, water, cinnamon, and salt and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 20 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and fluff rice with a fork.

I am so glad you made and enjoyed this rice. There really is something special about basmati rice. Usually I stick to brown rice - this recipe is worth the special treat.

The varieties of rice are typically classified as long-, medium-, and short-grained.The grains of long-grain rice (high in amylose) tend to remain intact after cooking; medium-grain rice (high in amylopectin) becomes more sticky. Best USA wholesale rice distributors offer rice that are used for sweet dishes, for risotto in Italy, and many rice dishes, such as arròs negre, in Spain. Some varieties of long-grain rice that are high in amylopectin, known as Thai Sticky rice, are usually steamed.
