I Tried Making Arroz con Coco for the First Time (Colombia)

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + coconut extract

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds sweetness with a different flavor profile.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds a unique taste.

Start by adding the precooked rice to the pot.

Pour in the coconut milk and Himalayan salt.

Add the chopped onions and a drizzle of olive oil.

Cover the pot with the lid and ensure the pressure valve is closed.

Wait for the pot to build pressure and then cook for 14 minutes.

Carefully release the pressure once cooking is done and remove the lid.

Serve the arroz con coco.
