Steps

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a pot over low heat.
  2. Add chives, garlic, and thyme sprigs to the pot. Cook for about 3 minutes on low heat to infuse flavor.
  3. Stir in fresh brown black pepper and lemon zest.
  4. Add raisins and dried pineapple; stir until the dried fruit softens.
  5. Add the washed basmati rice directly into the pot, stirring to coat each grain with the flavored coconut oil mixture.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high. Pour in 3 3/4 cups of water (or substitute vegetable/chicken stock).
  7. Stir in 2 tablespoons of coconut cream and salt.
  8. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid.
  9. Simmer for 12 minutes. Turn off the stove, put the lid back on, and let it rest for an additional 5 to 7 minutes (or 15 minutes if using a metal pot).
  10. Remove the lid and fluff the rice.
