Directions

1 Heat all ingredients except papaya to boiling in 2-quart saucepan, stirring once or twice; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 19 minutes (do not lift cover or stir); remove from heat. Fluff rice lightly with fork. Cover and let steam 5 to 10 minutes.
2 Mash half of the papaya. Reserve 2 tablespoons chopped papaya. Stir mashed papaya and remaining chopped papaya into rice. Heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot. Sprinkle with reserved papaya and, if desired, additional cinnamon.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you’re in the mood to experiment, go ahead and replace the papaya with an equal amount of chopped mango.

How do you know when a papaya is ripe? When its smooth, unblemished skin is at least half yellow and feels slightly soft when pressed, go for it!

Very good! I made with Mango instead of papaya. It was very sweet. I served it with some baked Thai chicken, it was a good combination, but I think this rice would be better served with some Carribean dish.

This was the first time my husband and I tried papaya and we did not like it at all! Maybe we got a bad one? It was tender and juicy, but the taste was awful! This was also the first time we had coconut milk, and it tasted spoiled. The dish was not a success. I won't be making it again.
