Coconut fried rice
This is perfect with bangbang chicken, but I love serving it as well with a slice of salmon when we have house guests. Cook the rice in the morning and dinner comes together in 20 minutes.
Method
- 1
Mix in a small bowl the salt, pepper, lemon zest, parsley flakes, chilli flakes, coconut flour and oregano.
- 2
Add butter to the pan and cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes, or until softened.
- 3
Add half the spice mixture to the onions and cook for another 30 seconds.
- 4
Add your rice.
- 5
Add the rest of the spice mix and cook until heated through completely. Then quickly add the lemon juice and give it another minute.
- 6
Serve with additional parsley.
Good to know
You can use the herbs to your taste. Start with 1 teaspoon of each and see how you go. Add more, but make sure you do not overpower the rice and lemon zest. This is a dry rice recipe, which makes it a favourite in my house, but you could add a tablespoon of oil or additional butter to the pan with the rice if you like.
