Ingredients

The ingredients for this recipe include:
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 can pineapple chunks (drained)
  • 1/2 onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Equipment

To make this recipe, you will need a medium-sized pot with a lid to cook the rice, a large skillet or wok to sauté the pineapple mixture, and a sharp knife and cutting board for chopping the ingredients.

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer and then add it to a medium-sized pot with 2 cups of water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rice simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the drained pineapple chunks to the skillet along with the curry powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  6. Let the mixture cook for 5-7 minutes until the pineapple is slightly caramelized and the spices are fragrant.
  7. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the pineapple mixture. Stir well to combine and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use a good quality white rice that has a fluffy texture. You can also use brown rice, basmati rice, or jasmine rice for a different flavor and texture. Adjust the spices according to your taste preferences, and feel free to add some chopped bell peppers or carrots to the skillet for added nutrition and color.

Recipe Tips

You can also use leftover rice from another meal to save time. Simply reheat the rice in the microwave or on the stovetop before adding it to the skillet with the pineapple mixture. Finally, you can garnish the dish with some toasted coconut flakes or sliced almonds for added crunch and flavor.
