Pineapple Rice


This is a recipe I got from Cooking Light (March 2007). Delicious with something Cuban or Latin. I make it with Cuban Black Bean patties.

1 cup rice
2 cups water
2 tsp. butter
1 cup fresh diced pineapple
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp salt

(I use a rice cooker but directions are for stove top).
Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain rice, place in large bowl. Melt butter in nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add pineapple, saute 4 minutes or until it begins to brown. Add pineapple mixture, salt to rice. Add cilantro and combine right before serving.
