Coconut Rice - white long grain rice

Method

• Combine all ingredients, except coconut, bring to boil, cover, and simmer low, stirring occasionally until rice is almost done (about 10 mins).
• Remove from heat and remove pan cover, stir rice.
• Fold a kitchen towel in half and place over pan, then place the pan cover over the towel.
• Let "rest" for 15 minutes.
• To serve, fluff rice with a fork and pour into a serving bowl, garnish with toasted coconut.
• *Put the coconut in a dry frying pan and over medium heat, stir constantly until the coconut is browned, but be watchful, the coconut browns quickly, then burns fast.
