Coconut Rice Cartagena Style (one of my favorites)
1 mature coconut
2 cups long grain white rice
3 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt


1.Crack open coconut and use approx. 3/4 of white coconut meat and grate
2.Squeeze grated coconut to extract milk. When most liquid has been extracted add water to make 4 cups of coconut milk
3. Combine coconut milk, rice, sugar and salt in medium saucepan. Mix and bring to boil over high heat.
4. Turn heat down to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
