Arroz con Coco

Ingredients

 * 2 coconuts, meat removed
 * 3 to 4 cups rice (raw)
 * 1 tbsp sugar
 * salt
 * water (2 cups for every cup of rice)

Directions

 * 1) Cut the coconut into small pieces.
 * 2) In a blender, grind the coconut using boiling water.
 * 3) Do small amounts at a time.
 * 4) To get a stronger coconut flavor, reuse the coconut milk from the previous blending.
 * 5) Be sure to strain out the ground coconut meat.
 * 6) In a large heavy saucepan, bring the coconut milk to boiling.
 * 7) Allow it to boil for 3 or 4 minutes.
 * 8) This helps form the coconut oil.
 * 9) Add the rice, sugar and salt (as desired).
 * 10) Allow to continue boiling until the rice begins to rise in the water.
 * 11) Be careful not to have the temperature too high as this rice burns and sticks easily.
 * 12) As it begins to dry, cover tightly, reduce heat to low and allow the rice to finish cooking.
