Preparation:
1. Open a brown coconut by baking it in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes, then whacking it soundly with a hammer on its “fault ” line. Take out the coconut meat, reserving the liquid for other uses.
2. Remove the brown rind from the meat and pare the coconut into long thin strips with a potato peeler or paring knife. Place the pieces on a cookie sheet and brown them under the broiler for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly toasted to charred black in the blink of an eye. Serve warm with drinks. |
