Coconut Milk Rice with Pineapple
Coconut Milk Rice with Pineapple features tender white rice simmered in a rich bath of coconut milk, resulting in a creamy side dish spiked with the bright taste of pineapple!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups White Rice
- 14 oz can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 1 cup pineapple tidbits drained
- 1 teaspoon table salt
Instructions
- Rinse rice under cold running water then add to saucepan along with water, coconut milk and salt.
- Briefly stir the rice to ensure it does not stick to the bottom as you bring liquid to a boil, then cover saucepan, reduce to a simmer, and cook till the liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender, ~25 minutes.
- Stir in pineapple tidbits, taste for salt and serve.
Notes
Pineapple tidbits come in a can and are smaller than pineapple chunks.
The time it takes to cook rice varies depending on your level of heat.
Tip: If the liquid absorbs/evaporates before rice is tender you can add a couple tablespoons of additional water to assist with cooking. This can be an issue if you forget to cover the saucepan. Substitute pickled pineapple for even more flavor!
