Classic Coconut rice

……..yummm!!! is the first expression you get once a scoop of coconut rice gets into your mouth. That unique feel of natural coconut flavor on the taste buds usually gives way for a nod of approval with the comment…….Very nice!”. Originally, coconut rice is a simple meal made with Coconut milk, Rice and Seasoning. The wonderful thing about coconut rice is, it still retains that yummy coconutty flavor even after absorbing the various seasonings added to it. In this recipe, I decided to put in a little twist to make it a little bit more interesting by adding my special Turkey stock……Enjoy!
