Spiced Mango Rice Bowls

2 TB butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Saute over med-high heat for 1 minute.

Then add:
2 cups basmati rice, rinsed
2 1/2 cups lite coconut milk
1 cup pureed mango
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup craisins

Bring just to a boil, uncovered.  Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.  Then reduce the heat even lower and let rice cook for 20 minutes.  Fluff with a fork and add a few Tablespoons of coconut milk if it seems dry.

Delicious!  But it wasn't really a good dinner food...it tasted more like dessert!  This would make the perfect Thanksgiving meal side dish!
