INSTRUCTIONS
I served this as an accompaniment to Portabello Burgers several weeks ago when my in-laws were visiting. My mother-in-law asked for the recipe! It comes from my local newspaper in Charlottesville, VA (The Daily Progress). Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice and coconut, cover pan, reduce heat to simmer or low and cook until liquid is absorbed,about 18 minutes. Stir in black beans, 1/2 cup of scallions, bell pepper, and Italian dressing. Garnish with remainder of scallions. Serves 4-6. Posted to EAT-L Digest 7 November 96 Date: Fri, 8 Nov 1996 11:27:31 -0500 From: Amy Smalley <as5x@AVERY.MED.VIRGINIA.EDU>
