The subtle aroma of coconut is very suitable for baking. But coconut milk is just as great with meat dishes. Chicken fillet is most often prepared in coconut milk. But other types of meat will turn out to be delicious.
What does the meat taste like? Very soft with a subtle coconut aroma and a very light coconut flavor. If you have never tried using coconut milk for main dishes, then you should prepare a small portion. Be sure to try a freshly prepared hot dish, and then completely cooled down and infused for a couple of hours. The taste in these two cases will be different. Many people like the second option. Therefore, if you did not immediately like the meat, try the second option. Boil rice for a side dish. It will be the perfect combination.

Cooking pork stewed in coconut milk step by step
1. Let's start cooking by roasting the garlic. Chop the garlic finely. Pour vegetable oil into the pan and put the garlic. Fry the garlic for a couple of minutes over high heat.
2. Cut the pork into small pieces. Put in a frying pan and season with turmeric. It will give a beautiful color and delicate oriental scent. If turmeric is nowhere to be found, grab some curry. But remember turmeric is a crushed root, and curry is a spice mix with turmeric as the main one. Fry the meat until crusty.
3. Mix coconut milk and tomato paste. In addition to milk, you can take coconut paste. We dilute it with cream or milk.
4. Add the tomato paste and coconut milk mixture to the pan. Simmer pork over medium heat until tender. Adjust the thickness of the gravy to your liking - if you want a thinner one, add coconut milk. While the meat is cooking, boil the rice. Serve together. Greens, fresh vegetables complement the taste of the dish.
