Senegalese Mango and Coconut Rice Pudding
Senegalese coconut rice pudding—called sombi—usually has a porridge-like consistency and is eaten as a snack or for breakfast. We preferred it a little thicker and enjoyed it as dessert, so we adapted Pierre Thiam's recipe from his book “Yolele!” and paired it with diced mango that is gently cooked in caramelized honey. This recipe calls for 2 cups of cooked long-grain rice. Rinse and drain ¾ cup long-grain white rice, then combine it and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then cover, reduce to low and cook until the water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer the rice to a kitchen parchment–lined baking sheet or large plate and cool to room temperature.

Servings
Don't stir the mango too often as it cooks; each time the lid is removed, steam escapes. This can dry out the mango too quickly and cause it to scorch.

Ingredients
-
2
tablespoons honey
-
14-
to 16-ounce ripe mango, peeled, pitted and cut into ½-inch chunks
Directions
-
01In a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, cook the honey without stirring for 2 minutes; it will bubble vigorously and smell lightly caramelized. Stir in the mango, ¾ cup water and ⅛ teaspoon salt, then bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce to medium-low and cook, stirring only occasionally, until very tender and the moisture has completely evaporated, 25 to 30 minutes. (If most of the liquid has evaporated after about only 15 minutes but the mango is still firm, reduce to low to prevent scorching.) Off heat, stir in the lime juice.
