Categories     HarperCollins     Coconut     Pineapple     Brown Rice     Rice

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups uncooked long- grain brown rice, such as brown basmati
1 cup light coconut milk (about half a 15-ounce can), or more as needed
1 tablespoon safflower or other high-heat oil or 3 tablespoons vegetable broth or water
1 large onion, preferably red, chopped
2 cups small broccoli florets
1 medium red or green bell pepper, diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
2 medium ripe fresh tomatoes, diced
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (about 3/4 inch thick) or one 20-ounce can unsweetened pineapple chunks in juice, drained (reserve liquid for another use)
1 to 2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder
2 teaspoons minced fresh or jarred ginger, or more to taste
Salt to taste
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
Crushed peanuts or cashews for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the rice with 2 cups water and the coconut milk in a saucepan. Bring to a rapid simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a stir- fry pan or a wide skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until golden.
  • Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots. Turn the heat up to medium-high and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender-crisp.
  • Add the tomatoes and pineapple chunks and continue to stir-fry for a minute or two, just until the tomatoes soften slightly.
  • Stir in the cooked rice, curry powder, and ginger. Stir gently until all the ingredients are completely combined. Since about half the can of coconut milk is remaining, if you'd like the mixture to be a bit more moist, add 1/4 cup or so more, but take care not to make the mixture soupy.
  • Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Serve at once, passing around crushed nuts to top individual servings, if desired.

COCONUT CURRIED FRIED RICE WITH PINEAPPLE



Coconut Curried Fried Rice with Pineapple image

This curried fried rice is my very own creation. I'm the kind of person who cooks without measuring anything, so the measurements listed here are only estimates. I think that all the fun of cooking comes from substituting, experimenting, and adjusting to your own taste, so please have fun with this recipe! It has lots of great flavors and is sort of a combination of Malaysian, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use freshly grated coconut. If using dried coconut, be sure to toast it in a pan before adding it to the rice. - If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute a mixture of cow's milk and cream. Just be sure to adjust the amount of salt accordingly. - To make the rice more flavorful, add a few cloves of garlic or a small piece of ginger to the cooking liquid. - For a more colorful dish, add some chopped red bell pepper or carrots to the rice. - If you're serving the rice as a main course, consider adding some protein, such as chicken or shrimp.

Conclusion:

Coconut and pineapple rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. The creamy coconut milk and sweet pineapple give the rice a unique flavor that's sure to please everyone at the table.
