Ingredients

Serves:

2 tsp vegetable oil

1 cup diced red bell pepper

2 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated

1 Tbsp chopped garlic

1 can (14 oz) lite coconut milk (see Tip) plus enough water to make 31/2 cups

11/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice

1 tsp salt

8 oz fresh snow peas, trimmed, halved crosswise

2 tsp freshly grated lime peel

Garnish: lime wedges and cilantro

Directions

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add diced pepper, white part of scallions and garlic. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic.

Add coconut milk and water mixture; bring to a boil. Add rice and salt, reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook 12 minutes or until rice is nearly tender.

Stir in snow peas, lime peel and, if rice looks dry, another 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes until snow peas are crisp-tender. Remove from heat; stir in green part of scallion. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.

Good with grilled or broiled swordfish.

TIP Make sure the label on the can says coconut milk, not cream of coconut or coconut water.

I tried this recipe and didn't think about the quantities called for. After I recalculated for three servings, I ended up with 3 cups of rice. The actual amount should have been 3/4 cup of rice. The recalculate function doesn't work.
