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!

One clever tip to elevate this dish is to marinate the pineapple slices in a mixture of honey, lime juice, and chili powder for an hour before grilling. This will enhance the sweetness of the pineapple and add an extra kick of flavor to the dish.
