Ingredients
- 4-6slices fresh pineapplethick cut, peeled and cored
- 1/3cup soy or teriyaki sauce
- 1cup rice
- 1can canned coconut milkI used the lite milk. The full fat version makes a creamier version.
- 1/2cup water
- 1/2teaspoon salt
- 1 red or orange sweet peppersliced
- 1/2 red onionsliced
- 1clove fresh garlicminced
- 1cup sugar snap peascut in quarters
- 1/4cup roasted cashews
Instructions
- Prepare your pineapple by soaking slices of fresh pineapple in the soy or teriyaki sauce for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the rice by rinsing and then adding the rice to a pot or a rice cooker, along with the coconut milk, the salt, and the water. The liquid should total 2 cups. Cook according to instructions, about 20 minutes for a white rice.
- Heat a grill pan to a medium high heat. This will give you those great grill lines but you could also use a regular frying pan for the same delicious flavour. After the pineapple has had its marinating time, cook the chunks on both sides until they begin to brown and caramelize.
- When the rice is almost finished cooking, heat a pan with a little oil and cook the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the pepper slices and the peas. Stir fry this for just a few moments, keeping the veggies crisp and bright. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the rice in a heated bowl, topped with the veggies, the pineapple and sprinkled with the chopped, roasted cashews. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
You could used canned pineapple rings, but the fresh pineapple is a delicious treat!
