Lime-Cilantro Rice with Pineapple

Source: Our Best Bites


Ingredients:
1 cup white rice cooked in 2 cups water
2 T real butter
Juice from 1 large lime or two smaller ones
1 can crushed pineapple, drained. 
½ – ¾ C chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

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.

Notes: Awesome! Can stand alone as a side dish, or add some extra flavor as a base for a saucy main dish.
