Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
2 cups coconut water
1 teaspoon salt
2 limes, juiced, divided
½ cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 1-quart covered baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in jasmine rice and cook until slightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in coconut water. Season with salt. Mix in juice of 1 lime. Reduce to a simmer and stir occasionally until liquid begins to be absorbed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until the coconut water is completely absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the cover and add carrots, green onions, cilantro, and remaining lime juice. Fluff with a fork; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.
