Coconut Lime Rice
Basmati rice is gently cooked with coconut milk and chicken broth, then finished with toasted coconut, fresh lime zest, and a squeeze of juice for a bright, aromatic side. The grains stay fluffy with a subtle richness from coconut and butter, while citrus notes add lift. Serve Coconut Lime Rice alongside grilled meats, seafood, or spicy mains on busy weeknights.
