Island Rice Recipe
Leave the plain rice behind. Try this sweet/savory combo and you'll be hooked!
Ingredients
- 1 C. rice (I used 1/2 C. long grain brown, 1/2 C. long grain white), cooked with 2 C. water or as directed on package
- To cooked rice add:
- juice from 1 lime
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 3-4 Tbsp. fresh chopped cilantro (more or less depending on how strong you want the flavor)
- 1-2 small cans crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice) (I used approx. 10 oz. from a larger can)
- 1/2 C. sweetened, shredded coconut
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Mix it all together and serve immediately. If needed, add some of the reserved pineapple juice to thin out rice if it gets too thick.
