Instructions
In a medium sauce pan, add rice. Place the pan under a tap and fill it up half way.
Using your fingers, stir the rice until you see the water start to turn cloudy
Drain most of the water without straining the rice.
Repeat the above 3 steps two more times
Fill the rice with water. I tend to fill up the pan about 3/4 of the way.
Place the pan on the stove top and set it to boil on medium heat
Stir it frequently using a fork
When the rice has fluffed to about 3 times its size (about 20 min), turn off the heat.
Use a sieve to drain all the water.
Using a fork, stir the rice. This will aerate it and make them fluffy. Set it aside
While the rice is cooking, prepare the peas.
In a medium pan, warm the extra virgin olive oil on medium heat
Add peas and salt to the oil
Cook for 5 minutes (do not brown them)
Turn off the heat and let it stay on the stove.
When the rice is done, gently add it to the peas
Add coconut milk and mix well
Transfer to a serving bowl
Garnish with cilantro and lime zest before serving
