COCONUT RICE WITH GREEN VEGETABLES

 

How to cook Nigerian coconut rice with green vegetables. Coconut rice is cooked with coconut milk. These days, one doesn’t have to grate coconuts as the blender can do a better job, there are also coconut milk cans in shops or coconut cream powder for one to use. There is no need for step by step pictures or recipe as we have coconut rice recipe already on the blog.

The vegetables came in last and it was just a sprinkle of green amaranth (aleho) vegetables. I like to add crayfish and smoked fish to coconut rice, but here I didn’t.

Just cooked with chicken stock and served with grilled chicken. I boiled 1 kg chicken, took out the stock for my coconut rice, before grilling.
Tastes so good, you’ll love it.
