Open the coconut milk cans and scoop out the cream on top. Use the liquid below to simmer the coconut rice. Chop up the cauliflower and roast. Prepare the remaining ingredients. In two separate skillets saute the chard and add the coconut cream. In the other skillet, sear the calamari and finish with the sauce.
Brown rice is steamed and simmered in either coconut juice or the coconut liquid that may be leftover when cooking with just the “cream” of the full fat coconut milk. Just remember not to shake the coconut milk and the cream will scoop off easily.
Roasted with zests of lemon & ginger, this flavor-packed cauliflower will delight as a side dish next to seafood, a big salad or anything Asian. A microplane will make your life so much easier for this dish, but very finely mincing the lemon peel and fresh ginger will work instead.
This is a quick, almost exotic variation of the classic creamed spinach. The trick is to use the cream that floats in the top of the can. To best trap this, plan to use full fat coconut milk, avoid shaking the can and store it in the fridge. Next, carefully open the can upside down if possible. This will allow the liquid to be on top and easily poured off for another use. The thicker cream will be ready to be scraped out below.
Seared steaks of calamari are drizzled with a creamy ginger-coconut sauce. Calamari cooks quickly and is fairly affordable, so try this healthy protein at home especially with this rich & tasty sauce. Sweet white rice flour also known as mochiko makes a lovely crust on the calamari steaks, but your favorite all-purpose flour should work well.
