Lime-Cilantro Rice with Pineapple

So I actually found a rice that Ross LOVES!!  This is awesome, because I would literally make rice with every meal - but he gets sick of it.  He has already requested this twice - so YAY me :)


This takes really good with the Asian BBQ Chicken & Bacon-Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Skewers.

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup dry white rice, cooked in 2 cups water
2 tablespoons real butter
Juice from 1 large lime, or two smaller ones (taste as you go, I add a lot!)
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained

½ – ¾ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook rice. As soon as it’s done, toss in the butter and stir to melt. Add lime juice, pineapple, and cilantro. Stir to combine, and then add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

* You’ll want to serve this right away, if you don’t, the flavors tend to mellow a bit and you’ll probably need to add more lime juice because the rice kind of sucks it up. If you’re not quite ready to eat when your rice finishes cooking, just toss in the butter and keep a lid on it so it stays warm. Then right before you serve it, toss it all together.

Oh and don't forget the frozen veggies :) 

hehe - I think Ross thought I made them so he took a pic...
