How to Make Arroz De Coco E Papaia Angola

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 can (13.5 oz) of full-fat coconut milk and 1/2 cup of water. Stir well.
  2. Add 1 cup of long-grain rice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the papaya: Cut a ripe papaya in half, remove the seeds, and peel the fruit. Finely dice 1 cup of papaya. Separately, mash 1/2 cup of the diced papaya.
  6. Gently fold the mashed and diced papaya into the cooked rice. Heat through on low for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to combine.
  7. Serve warm as a delightful side dish alongside your favorite Angolan or other international main courses.
