Spicy Coconut Rice

This month I have prepared a ‘throw-together’ rice dish which is stunning with crispy skin chicken (as pictured), slow roast lamb, pan fried fish or just on its own.

It is vegetarian (on its own), gluten free and packs a punch with flavour. It can be eaten hot, warm or cold so makes a great next day lunch meal.

I hope you enjoy.
