Grilled Mango Coconut Rice

I made this with my make ahead meatballs, recipe #457810, the other night and i have a feeling i'll be cooking my rice with coconut milk a lot from now on. The rice can be made without the fruit as well, it is so delicious and creamy. This is a lovely side served with grilled chicken, fish or pork.

Steps

Oil grill and preheat barbecue to medium-high.
Peel mango , slice from stone in thick pieces.
Slice pepper in half , then core and seed.
Grill pepper until lightly charred , about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Grill mango until hot , about 2 minutes per side.
Remove fruit from grill and cut into bite-size pieces.
Preheat oven to 350f.
Grease a loaf pan or small casserole with 5 ml of olive oil.
Add rice to pan and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
In a medium saucepan , stir together coconut milk , chicken broth , sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
Bring to a boil.
Pour hot liquid over rice , stir just enough to get all the rice wet , cover tightly with foil.
Bake one hour or until all liquid is absorbed.
Remove from oven and rest 5 minutes before uncovering.
Fluff with a fork.
Serve rice with mango , pepper and green onion slices.
