I have been going through a lot of old recipes I have and ran across this one. I have not made it in a long time, but it is very good, especially with fish or chicken. If you don't care for cilantro, you can use parsley.

Pineapple Cilantro Rice

1 T. unsalted butter

1/4 c. diced onion

1 c. long-grain rice

1 can(15 oz.) crushed pineapple, undrained

3/4 c. pineapple juice (6oz.)

1/2 c. water

1 t. kosher salt (less if table salt)

1/4 c. minced cilantro

In a sauce pan, over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add onion and saute 3 minutes, stir in the rice and saute 1 minute to coat the rice.

Add the pineapple, pineapple juice, water and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 25 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.

F-l-u-f-f the rice with a fork, then stir in the cilantro.

Makes 4 cups.
