Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- ½ cup canned pumpkin
- 1 cup white rice
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix together the light coconut milk, vegetable broth, canned pumpkin, white rice, and a pinch of sea salt over medium-high heat.
- Bring to a boil and simmer: Once boiling, cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the rice simmer gently until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice becomes tender, about 20 minutes.
- Rest and serve: After cooking, stir the rice, cover, and set it aside for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use light coconut milk to keep the dish creamy but not too rich.
- Make sure to rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
- You can substitute vegetable broth with water for a lighter flavor.
- Adjust the salt according to your taste preference.
- This recipe pairs well with grilled vegetables or roasted meats as a side dish.
