Coconut chips
An interesting use for that coconut! These coconut chips would make a novel accompaniment to a curry, as part of a selection of starters for an oriental meal or just as finger snacks with drinks.
They can be frozen in Tupperware-type containers so it's practical to process 3 or 4 coconuts at a time.
Top Tip!
Taste the coconut to check that it has not gone rancid before you start. It is a more common problem than you might think.
