Chef's Notes
Treat your coconut milk with respect; use full-fat canned varieties to ensure that rich, velvety texture that separates a royal dish from a mere side of grains.
Pro Tip
When dealing with the scotch bonnet pepper, remove the seeds carefully unless you want your dinner guests breathing actual fire.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Lifting the lid too early lets all the precious steam escape, leaving you with crunchy, half-cooked rice that will have you ordering takeout in shame.
