I've been cooking a lot of Thai food and often have some coconut milk left as I rarely use a full can.
Apart from putting it in other dishes, like curries etc... do you have any bright ideas for using up left-over coconut milk?
Ta :D
PS - d'yer like me new lips??
Smoothies or milkshakes.
Or are you asking for non-food ideas?
PS Yer lips are luvverly!
*drool* @ coconut smoothie. I'll have that for brekkie tomorrow.
Any other cooking suggestions?
pina colada
THIS!!! I saw pics over on the PPK and it looks delish!:)
You can sustitue milk for some of the water when making rice. I just did this with jasmine rice a few days ago and then added lime zest and served it with jerk seitan. Its good with any caribbean style meal.
I am going to have to try a coconut smoothie though!
You could use it as a haircure.
rice and peas!

although, if you can get hold of gungo peas, they're better :)
OR
substitute for normal milk when you make porridge. muchos tastios :D

Put it in ANY soup you make before liquidising :)
freeze in a small ziplock bag. In fridge goes rancid quickly and sooo fattening to slurp up regularly:(
anyone know if it freezes for another time?
Use it for dessert after said Thai food:
Thai Banana Sweet
1/4 420g can coconut milk
2tsp (or to taste) raw cane sugar
1 banana
Put the coconut milk and sugar into a saucepan, heat gently until warm.
Slice the banana, add it to the saucepan, and cook until softened.
Serve hot.

Don't hold me to it being salavatingly good though, never tried it :p
Put it in muffins or whip it.
