Coconut milk

sunshine6650

Ìm having a big cupboard clean & saving shopping money towards the big christmas shop!
Ive got some sachets of creamed coconut sachets (you just pop em in hot water before using them)

Any ideas on ehat i can do with them? I have spices & always tinned toms, as well as frozen meat..open to any ideas (not fish really as BF cant stand it unless from the chippy!)

Or even some pudding/biscuit ideas?

Thanks

Hi sunshine,

There's an earlier thread with some ideas that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.

Hi

I have several tins of coconut milk in my cupboard that are getting in hubbys way. He keeps threatening to throw them away but I insist I'm going to use them. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do with them. I was thinking a cake kind of thing but never used it before.

I must use it before my husband takes them outside and buries them forever.:eek: :rotfl:

Beef Rendang - a gorgeous slow cooked beef curry from Malaysia - take a cheap cut of beef like shin (really tasty) and cook for 3-4 hours in 2 litres of coconut milk

Coconut and Carrot Soup

3 lbs carrots OR sweet potato OR squash/pumpkin
1 onion finely chopped
1 tbsp curry paste
butter/oil

Fry the onion and curry paste in the butter. Add the chopped and peeled veg.

Add about 1 litre of stock (chicken stock is good) and a tin of coconut milk. Simmer until veg are soft. Blend and season.

Add some to any curry recipe be it meat fish or veg for an authentic taste

These muffins are lovely and this mild curry

My Mum won a 400ml tin of coconut milk in a raffle. It was the last prize! I now have to come up with something (not a mild curry or anything too spicy, possibly a dessert?) to do with it! It's like "Ready, Steady, Cook", but with only one ingredient. Any ideas, my fellow gastronauts?

Try this soup -you can vary the veg;)
