Sticky Rice with Mangoes

(Serves 6-8)

Ingredients

• 2 cups glutinous white rice ( sticky rice)
• ½ cup Jasmine rice.
• 4 cups coconut cream
• zest of 2 limes
• 1 ½ cups castor sugar
• pinch salt
• 4 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced

Method

Wash both rices well until the water runs clear and soak them for 20 minutes. Drain well and put the rice into a saucepan.

Cover the rice with water so that the water is 3cm above the rice. Bring to the boil, cover tightly, turn the heat down to the lowest setting, cook 20 minutes exactly, without uncovering for any reason!

Remove from the heat, let stand 5 minutes without uncovering. While the rice is cooking, put 3 cups of the coconut cream, the lime zest, sugar and salt into a large bowl and mix well until the sugar has dissolved.

When the rice is cooked put it into a bowl and pour the coconut cream mix over it. Mix quickly, cover and set aside for 15 minutes, uncovering to mix once or twice.

Uncover and serve with mango slices and the remaining coconut cream poured on top. Serve warm or cold
