Serves: 4

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 1 1/2 hours

Ingredients:

1 can full fat coconut milk (can use almond, hemp or rice milk)
1 1/4 cups water
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons brown (or purple, black, or forbidden rice)
1 cinnamon stick
½ teaspoon vanilla powder or extract
½ teaspoon ground cardamon
pinch of sea salt

To Garnish:

freshly sliced kiwi
raw sesame seeds
toasted coconut flakes

Directions:

Put the milk, water, rice, spices, salt, in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook covered, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender but chewy and absorbs most of the liquid, about 1 1/2 hours.

You can “cheat” and use previously cooked brown rice, which can lessen cooking time. In this case, eliminate the water and just cook in the milk.
