baguette, to serve
Very tasty
This is a great dish. Full of flavour. I have made it a couple of times.
I love Marion’s idea of the baguette for soaking up the juices, rather than rice.
The first time the coconut milk split while cooking but I have since read that a little bit of cornflour will stop this happening.
I am going to try this is the slow cooker next time.
