Hello beautiful foodies on hive, how has the weekend been? I hope it was well spent preparing and eating delicious and tasty meal and I hope you didn't eat alone.
So on my food menu today I decided to prepare something out of the usual rice and stew I was used to. I wanted my taste bud to smile at me so I prepared coconut rice. During my preparation of this meal I almost gave up because I felt it wasn't going to come out nice and I was discouraged because there was no power supply for me to make use of the blender, so I used another method to extract the milk from the coconut.
For the preparation of this I will be using just few ingredients with the coconut milk. Below are the ingredients I used:
- Two large Coconuts
- Fresh tomatoes
- Onions
- Crayfish
- Green beans
- Pepper
- Beef
- Salt and seasoning cubes.
Preparation
- Firstly, after hubby assisted in removing the coconut back, I grate my coconut and added warm water to extract the milk.

- Secondly, I boiled the rice.

- Fourthly, grind your pepper and crayfish
Grinded manually.
After getting all these ready, I placed my pot on the fire and added a little oil first, then I fried my beef, added onions, tomatoes and the rest ingredients.

Thereafter, I allowed the mix to steam for about 3 - 5 minutes depending on the heat intensity, after which I added my coconut milk to the sauce I made and covered until it started boiling before I added my rice.
Allow the rice to steam until it becomes a bit tender and ready to be served then add your veggies (green beans).
I present to you my sumptuous, tasty and delicious coconut rice. 😋💃💃💃
Served with a drink. Bon appetit 🤤.
