Yield: 6-8 servings

2 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 cup finely diced onion
2 cups long-grain rice, washed and drained
½ tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. grated ginger
½ cup coconut milk
1 cup cooked peas
3 Tbsp. toasted coconut

Put coconut oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and let cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add rice, salt and ginger, and stir to coat. Let rice sizzle for a minute, then add coconut milk and 2½ cups water. Bring to a simmer, then turn heat to low and put on a tightfitting lid. Cook for 20 minutes, then turn off heat and let rest 10 minutes. Fluff rice and stir in peas. Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with toasted coconut.
