Today’s Special: Tropical Coconut Rice with Spicy Grilled Pineapple

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m thrilled to share a unique and exotic dish that’s perfect for those warm summer nights when you’re craving something fresh and flavorful. This Tropical Coconut Rice with Spicy Grilled Pineapple is a delightful blend of sweet and spicy, bringing together tropical flavors with a hint of heat. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 200g jasmine rice
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 1 small pineapple, sliced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Pinch of salt

Kitchen Tools:

  • saucepan
  • grill pan
  • knife
  • cutting board

Start by cooking the jasmine rice according to package instructions, replacing water with coconut milk for a creamy texture. While the rice is simmering, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the pineapple slices on the grill pan and sprinkle with chili powder. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized.

Once the rice is cooked and the pineapple is grilled, fluff the rice with a fork and transfer it to a serving dish. Arrange the grilled pineapple slices on top of the rice. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt for added flavor.

Serve this Tropical Coconut Rice with Spicy Grilled Pineapple as a main dish or a side dish at your next summer BBQ. The combination of creamy coconut rice, sweet grilled pineapple, and spicy chili powder is sure to impress your taste buds!
