Coconut-Scented Rice with Almonds

Ingredients
2 cups fat-free milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups uncooked instant rice
1 ounce sliced almonds (1/4 to 1/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract

Instructions
In medium saucepan, bring milk and salt to a boil over medium-high heat, about 12 minutes. Stir in rice; return to a boil, about 1 minute. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5-6 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.

Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dry-roast almonds until golden brown and fragrant, 1-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to a small plate and let cool for 1 minute. Using back of a spoon or fork, finely crush almonds. Or put almonds in a plastic bag and crush. Add extract to rice, fluff with a fork, and stir in almonds.

Yield: 4-6 servings
