Coconut rice with peas

We made this as a sneaky treat because your Dad was out (he's an inveterate pea hater).

Makes enough for 1 adult and 1 small child.

You'll need:

coconut milk (I used about a third of a tin)
a handful of peas (defrosted)
basmati rice (about half a mug)

Chuck the rice in a pan. Pour the coconut milk into the measuring mug, and top it up with water until it reaches the top (you need twice as much liquid as rice!). Tip into the pan, bring to the boil, then simmer gently until all the liquid has been absorbed, and the rice is tender. You might need to add a little extra water - keep an eye on it.

The rice will take about 8-10 minutes to cook - so you need to add your peas in the last couple of minutes, so that they heat through.

If you want to be fancy, you could also add some chopped coriander before serving.

We ate this with some chicken and red pepper kebabs. The wooden skewers caught fire, so they weren't exactly a success...
