Categories     Vegetable     Vegetarian

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons peanut oil or butter
1 1/2 cups steel-cut oats (not rolled), rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon minced or grated ginger
1 tablespoon mustard seeds (brown or black are both fine)
3 cardamom pods
1 or 2 dried red chilies, like Thai (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated dried unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, mint, scallions or parsley, or a combination.

Steps:

  • 1. Put oil or butter in a pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. When oil is hot or butter melts, add oats and ginger and stir until coated. Add spices and a pinch each of salt and pepper; stir until fragrant, just a minute or two. 2. Stir in 2 1/2 cups water, bring to a boil, and reduce heat so mixture gently bubbles. Cook undisturbed, until most of the water has been absorbed and holes begin to appear on surface, 5 to 7 minutes. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit for at least 10 (or up to 20) minutes. 3. Meanwhile, toast coconut in a skillet over medium-low heat, shaking pan and stirring until it is toasted and fragrant, several minutes (watch carefully that it does not burn). Toss coconut and cilantro into oats, fluffing mixture with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot or at room temperature.

This pilaf was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less coconut milk next time.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but this pilaf was surprisingly good. The coconut milk added a subtle sweetness and creaminess that I really enjoyed.
