I had some coconut milk left over from the Thai Pumpkin soup that I made for mom and the Basil Curry Chicken. I didn't know how much I had left, but I figured that it was probably around a half a can or so. As it turns out, I had about a half a cup, or 1/3 of a can.
I searched the internet for a recipe which included coconut milk, used ingredients that I had on hand, or would probably use in another dish, but was also a dish I would want to eat. I finally settled on Arroz Con Coco (Colombian Coconut Rice).
Since I only had 1/3 can of coconut milk, I had to divide everything in the recipe by 3. This is rather difficult since I don't have a "1/3 teaspoon". I made a best guess for some of the ingredients.
When I was making this dish, Mike commented that it smelled like I was making Rice-A-Roni. He meant this as a compliment, but I'm not sure the author of this recipe would feel the same way.
I paired the rice with a chicken thigh from a Costco rotisserie chicken. The rice is good as a side, but does not have enough flavor/salt to be eaten by itself.
