Coconut Rice "Arroz con Coco"

Ingredients:

• 2 cups long-grain white rice
• 1 can of coconut milk
• 2 tbsp of water
• 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes
• 1 tbsp. l. plus 1.5 tsp. Sahara
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 cup raisins

Preparation:

1. Place the rice in a medium saucepan, cover with 2 cups of water, add coconut milk, sugar and salt and stir.
   
   Bring the contents of the pan to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally. This will prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning, until the water has evaporated to the level of the rice and small holes begin to form on the surface.
   
   Reduce heat to low, cover the pan and continue cooking until the rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Fluff the rice with a fork and add the raisins. Cover the pan and let it sit, unheated, for 10 minutes, until the raisins are warm and juicy. Sprinkle the rice with toasted coconut and serve.
