Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Makes enough for 2 dozen cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 1

2 coconuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Test each of the three eyes at the stem end of the coconut to find the softest eye. Use an ice pick and a hammer to pierce the eye, then drain the juice into a glass through a fine sieve, and reserve for another use.
  • Tap the coconut with a hammer until a palm-size piece of the shell breaks off. Continue tapping around the broken edge of the shell until it begins to break apart. Place the broken shells on a baking sheet. Bake the shells for about 10 minutes to loosen the coconut flesh from the shell.
  • Remove the coconut shells from the oven, and allow them to cool to the touch. Pry out the meat with an oyster knife. With a potato peeler, remove any remaining brown skin from meat. Grate the coconut meat, or slice it with a mandoline.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place grated or sliced coconut on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until lightly toasted. Let cool before using.

Here is the easiest way I know of to shred your own fresh coconut. The yield of this recipe varies a lot from coconut to coconut. I could not post a recipe with only one ingredient, so just use the water to wash up afterward :)

Provided by Chef Jean

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 ripe coconut (shake coconut before purchasing to make sure there is liquid inside)
water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Use a metal skewer or ice pick to pierce two of the soft spots at the top, where the "eyes" are.
  • Drain the liquid and save to use in other recipes.
  • Place the coconut on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool until it can be handled (about 5 minutes).
  • If it is not already cracked open, place the coconut on a hard surface and tap with a hammer until the shell breaks.
  • Remove the white flesh with a spoon or table knife. Peel off the thin, brown inner skin with a vegetable peeler.
  • Grate the coconut pieces on the fine side of a manual grater or cut into coarse pieces and grind in a food processor.
  • Use the grated coconut to make coconut milk, as a garnish for fruit salad or ice cream, or in other recipes.

HOW TO PREPARE FRESH COCONUT



How to prepare fresh coconut image

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • To open a fresh coconut, place it on a rack or in a bowl in the sink. Tap it repeatedly with the back of a cleaver all the way around the middle of the coconut. Rotate the coconut as you tap: soon a crack will appear, then the coconut will break in half. Save the coconut water that falls into the bowl it's great for drinking or cooking rice. Now, wrap the coconut halves in a kitchen towel and break into pieces with a hammer. Using a paring knife, pry the meat from the shell. (If it's hard to get out, bake the pieces in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes.) Trim the brown skin off the meat. Grate the coconut on a hand grater or in the food processor, using the grating blade.If you're not going to use all the coconut, place it (either in chunks or grated) in a plastic bag and refrigerate up to 2 days. To keep fresh longer, wrap the prepared coconut in plastic and then in aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. The average coconut when grated yields about 5 cups.

TO CRACK AND GRATE FRESH COCONUT



To Crack and Grate Fresh Coconut image

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. When buying fresh coconuts, look for ones without mold (check the eyes) or cracks. Choose coconuts that are heavy for their size-a sign that they contain plenty of liquid, which keeps the flesh from drying out. The thin, clear liquid, or "coconut water," can be used in soups or for cooking rice. You can also drink it as is. If it tastes sweet, the coconut is fresh; if it tastes oily, the coconut is rancid and should be discarded.

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 fresh brown coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Pierce softest eye of coconut with a metal skewer or screwdriver and drain liquid into a bowl to sample (see note, above). Bake coconut in oven 15 minutes.
  • With a hammer or back of a heavy cleaver break shell and with point of a strong knife remove flesh, levering it out carefully. Remove brown membrane with a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler. Fresh coconut keeps, chilled, in an airtight container 1 week.
  • Grate coconut as needed on small teardrop-shaped holes of a 4-sided grater or finely chop in a food processor. Freshly grated coconut keeps, frozen, in an airtight container 3 months.
