I searched for recipes and decided to make a version of pineapple fried rice that was a medley of a few recipes I read.
The recipe is simple to make and works best with rice that is cooked and chilled.
Ingredients:
Olive oil or coconut oil (enough so vegetables do not stick)
1/2 cup diced onion
3 large or 6 small garlic cloves diced
1/4 cup diced fresh ginger
1 large carrot diced
1 red bell pepper, 1 zucchini, or 1 yellow squash diced
2 cups diced pineapple (some juice is OK too)
1 1/2 tsp curry
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
3 cups cold rice - I use brown rice
3 tsp tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
OPTIONS: add roasted cashews or tofu to the rice to take it from side dish to a meal.
Instructions:
- Saute' vegetables (and ginger) in oil to brown them just a bit and soften the carrots
- Add the curry and crushed red pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add pineapple and rice. Stir to combine.
- Add tamari. Stir to combine.
Serve with nuts or tofu if you wish to make it a meal rather than a side dish.
