SAVORY COCONUT RICE



Savory Coconut Rice image

I love coconut rice, especially as a side for spicy grilled meats, but when I order it out, it's usually too sweet for my tastes, and more closely resembles dessert than a side dish. So, I decided to create a more savory version at home, which I eventually did, after a few short decades of testing.

BEEF CONSOME RICE



Beef Consome Rice image

This is my adopted recipe.I made this today, Feb 16. I took the salt out of my revised ingredients, as the soups are salty enough, get low sodium soups if availabe. Baked in about 45 minutes. The original called for 1/4 pound butter, I changed that to 1/4 cup and that was plenty. Very good recipe, nice flavor.
