Coconut Rice

Directions
Prepare the seasoning:
STEP 1
Combine all the ingredients for the jerk seasoning and set aside.
Prepare the slaw:
STEP 1
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cabbage, yogurt, vinegar, honey, and salt. Set aside to marinate while preparing the remaining components.
Prepare the coconut rice:
STEP 1
Add the green onion, coconut milk, water, coconut oil, and sea salt to a small pot with a lid.
STEP 2
Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then stir in the rice, reduce the heat to low, and cover.
STEP 3
Cook for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is fully absorbed.
STEP 4
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the mushrooms:
STEP 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the neutral oil.
STEP 2
Add the mushrooms and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the jerk seasoning. Stir to combine and cook until the mushrooms are browned, about six to eight minutes.
STEP 3
Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and place the skillet back over medium-high heat.
Prepare the plantains:
STEP 1
Line a large plate with a paper towel(s). Add the oil to the pan.
STEP 2
Place the plantains in the pan cut-side down in a single layer.
STEP 3
Fry until golden, about three minutes per side.
STEP 4
Remove from the pan and place on the prepared plate to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with salt.
STEP 5
Portion the rice, mushrooms, slaw, and plantains into four bowls and serve.
