Rice in Banana Leaves


INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups white long grain rice
  • 4 cups water (or 2 cups water and 2 cups coconut milk)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • banana leaves
  • toothpicks

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Add rice, water, salt, and pepper to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, uncover and let cool slightly.
  2. Roll banana leaves around a tube (an empty paper towel roll works perfectly) and secure end with a toothpick. Make them no taller than your pot. You can adjust the height by leaving more – or less – hanging off the end of the tube.
  3. Steam, with toothpick end down, in a tall pot for about 2 hours.
  4. Let cool and unwrap. Slice into discs and serve at room temperature or cold.
