| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. With a long nail or ice-pick, puncture 3 indentations at one end of each coconut; drain the milk from these holes.
|
2. From the punctured end of each coconut, saw off about 1½ inches to make a lid.
|
3. Using a sharp knife, remove the coconut meat from each lid in large chunks, then peel and grate it.
|
4. Saute the bacon in a large pan until crisp; mix in the corn, ¼ cup grated coconut, the onions, green pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and the garlic; cook until tender.
|
5. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper, and add with the chicken to the corn mixture; cook for 5 minutes.
|
6. Start heating the oven to moderate (350°F).
|
7. Spoon the chicken mixture into the coconut shells, top with the lids and wrap each coconut completely in foil.
|
8. Place the coconuts in a baking tin with 1 inch water and bake for 1¼ hours.
|
9. Serve in the shells, topped with grated coconut.
