Coconut-Cilantro Rice

To make this colorful, highly aromatic rice, we stir a vibrant puree of cilantro, scallions and jalapeño into the cooked rice after it has had a chance to rest. For the best flavor and texture, make sure to use jasmine rice. If needed, dribble more water into the blender to help the ingredients puree easily, but add only as much as is needed or the rice will end up soggy. This is an excellent side to chicken or fish.
