Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ½ cup yellow onion, (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups coconut water
  • ¼ cup cilantro, (washed and dried, finely chopped)
  • a couple of turns of freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Cook the onions. Coat the bottom of a small medium-sized sauce pot with the coconut oil and place it over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they're are translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and cumin. Add rice and cumin to the onions. Stir to be sure all the grains are coated with the coconut oil, and then sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring almost constantly.
  • Add coconut water and cook. Add the coconut water and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot, and cook until all of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add cilantro and season. Stir in the cilantro, a few turns of freshly ground black pepper, and serve!
