I’m always clipping recipes out of magazines or newspapers and I place them in a shoe box labeled “Recipes to try”. Well, today I went through some of those recipes in search of a dish to go with my oven fried chicken and I came across this recipe. Since I had all of the ingredients in the cupboard, I thought I’d give it a whirl. Oh my gosh, this dish was fantastic. The rice was flavorful, the raisins added some sweetness (not too much) and the mild crunch of the toasted coconut brought this dish over the edge. If you’re looking for a delicious side dish, I hope you’ll give this one a try! A special thanks to Randy Altig for sharing this recipe.
