Pineapple Brown Rice Recipes

PINEAPPLE FRIED BROWN RICE

Steps:

• Place rinsed and drained brown rice in a medium pot with 3 cups of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, covered, until water is evaporated and rice is tender.*
• Cook chicken breasts.
• Cut pineapple into bite size pieces. Peel and grate carrots, slice celery; chop onion.
• Meanwhile, heat butter in a very large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and grated carrots to the pan, and fry until translucent and tender, about ten minutes.
• Add the celery, and fry a few minutes more, until it's bright green and tender-crisp.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil and juice from one orange.
• Add the cooked rice to the frying pan along with the cooked chicken, pineapple, peas and sauce. Toss the fried rice to coat it with the sauce, then taste and adjust seasonings. Top with cashews.
• Serve with chopped cilantro as a garnish, and Sriracha sauce for grownups (or kids!!) who like it hot.

PINEAPPLE RICE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine water, pineapple, sugar, butter, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in rice and bring back to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, partially covered for 15 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed. The rice will be almost done with a slight bite to it.
• Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice steam another 5 minutes, covered. Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro. (I love cilantro so I usually go heavy but you can add as much as you like).
