Yum! I made this as written and it was really tasty. It went well with Jamaican Chicken Curry also. Thanks Queen Dana for sharing. Made for ZWT5 2009.

Love it! I did not add the shredded coconut as I only had desiccated coconut on hand and felt it would add grainy texture which we wouldnt like. I used about 1 1/2 tsp dark brown sugar and for the coconut milk I used Creamy Coconut Milk which worked well. I served this with Grilled Chicken With Mango Habanero Glaze and a fresh green salad for a tasty Caribbean meal. I will make this again. Made for ZWT5 for Cooks With Dirty Faces.

This is delicious. Made it as an accompaniment to Chicken With Citrus Sauce as Queen Dana suggested and the rice was the star of the show! I also made the coconut milk as per the link she provides in the recipe; while it tasted great, I found it to be a lot of work and plan to use store-bought coconut milk in the future. But this is just perfect; thanks for posting!
