HOW TO MAKE COCONUT RICE PILAF WITH LAMB CUTLETS
Method
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, add the onion and cook for 3 or 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the spices and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Now add the rice to the pan, coat well in the mixture and cook for a few seconds or until slightly translucent.
- Add the stock and coconut milk to the pan, bring to the boil, cover and reduce to a gentle simmer. Leave to cook for a further 12 to 15 minutes or until tender. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the grill to high, then cook the cutlets for a few minutes on each side. Cutlets are great cooked on the barbecue of course!
- To serve, stir the nuts, coconut and herbs into the rice, season to taste and add a squeeze of lime juice. Add extra limes to squeeze over the lamb and a green salad to serve.
