For an even richer flavor, try using toasted coconut flakes. Simply spread the flakes on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. If you don't have chicken broth on hand, vegetable broth works well as a substitute. Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice and zest to your personal preference. Some people prefer a more pronounced lime flavor. This rice pairs beautifully with grilled fish, chicken, or shrimp. It also makes a fantastic base for a vegetarian bowl with roasted vegetables and a drizzle of tahini dressing.
