Pineapple Rice – Barefeet within the Kitchen

Tangy, candy pineapple rice with cilantro and lime is a assured win for any pineapple fans. My circle of relatives offers it two thumbs up across the desk each time I make it.

It is a a laugh aspect dish that was once initially impressed through this recipe for Hawaiian Huli Huli Rooster. I sought after one thing candy and just a little tangy, and the rice labored out fantastically.

Rice with Pineapple

To mention that we’re a circle of relatives of pineapple fans simply doesn’t even do justice to how a lot all of us revel in recent, frozen, or canned pineapple. (And talking of the ones choices, any of them will paintings properly on this recipe.)

The much-loved pineapple was once a large hit once I added it to the cilantro lime rice. My circle of relatives knowledgeable me that I will have to most likely double the recipe the following time I make it.

If my boys are at house whilst I’m reducing a pineapple, the chances are excellent that it’s going to disappear inside of moments. I’m simply as to blame as they’re despite the fact that, seeing how I’ve been identified to demolish a batch of pineapple salsa solely alone.

Pineapple rice would even be scrumptious with Sticky Rooster or Candy and Highly spiced Glazed Salmon – or in truth, on the subject of every other primary dish conceivable. My boys went a bit loopy over this rice and again and again informed me how a lot they appreciated it.

Cilantro Lime Rice

I’ve lengthy been partial to cilantro lime rice. (I by no means can face up to Chipotle’s rice given the chance!) Tart lime juice and peppery cilantro infuse the lengthy, fluffy grains of rice with fabulous taste on this easy oven baked rice.

That recipe was once the muse for this pineapple rice with cilantro and lime. Whilst technically, the cilantro and lime are non-compulsory right here, I extremely counsel together with them.

The tangy lime is a pleasing steadiness to the candy pineapple and rice and the recent cilantro provides intensity with only a tiny trace of the lemon and pepper flavors that cilantro is understood for contributing.

Highly spiced and flavorful Spanish (or Mexican) Rice can also be made with as a lot or as little warmth as desired. It’s at all times a super aspect dish for enchiladas. And with slightly 2 mins of effort, a easy skillet of rice is going from uninteresting to one thing particular on this Chipotle Lime Rice.

I really like the sudden tang of the lime and the barely-there warmth of the chipotle pepper. Just like the Spanish rice, chipotle lime rice is some other nice aspect for any Mexican, Tex-Mex, or Southwestern meal.
