Looks delicious! I love rice. I'll have to try this.

This was delicious! It was very flavorful and tasty, and the rice took about 25 minutes to cook on fairly high heat. I kept an eye on it and kept it cooking at a pretty high heat so that it wouldn't get mushy. 5 stars for this recipe.

I tried this with sprouted quinoa and lentils instead of rice. Also added bell peppers. Excellent!! I'm excited to use coconut cream concentrate in more main dishes (I used it because I didn't have coconut milk). Thank you!
