Cooking with Coconut Milk
Love the creamy, sweetness of coconut milk and looking for some new recipes? Choose a recipe card below for some cooking with coconut ideas from the Swahili Coast. TRC teams up with Fadhila, the owner of Friendly Fresh Food to create 3 delightful dishes.
Quick and easy, forget about it soup is a great way to get rid of extra veggies that have been left behind in the deep dark crevices of your fridge or with goodies from the farmer’s market. Enjoy with kachumbari salad or pico de gallo!
Make Fadhila’s Famous Dengu! A traditional family recipe from the Swahili coast takes lentils to a whole new level with tuizito or coconut cream. Enjoy with Wasafi Wasmini (Fancy Rice) or a flatbread of your choice!
Fadhila uses both tuizito and matusa (coconut milk) in this colorful and healthy rice. With the aroma of cardamom, cloves and cinnamon this rice is a delight for all of the senses. Enjoy on its own, with curry or with Dengu!
