Pineapple Coconut Jasmine Rice

Submitted by cfletcher

"Ok....my sweet tooth hit overdrive tonight and I wanted my dinner to reflect that! I didn't want to wait for dessert for the good stuff....so here is a recipe that I found from President's Choice that definitely satisfied my need for sweet....but not overkill! This IS actually a dessert but I needed something to go with my Lemon Chicken and Fresh Snow Peas...so I decided that this would fill the empty spot on my plate. While I was waiting for my chicken to finish cooking, I was sampling this Jasmine Rice delight...and it was mighty hard to wait to put it on the plate! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!"

Wow!! This is wonderful! It takes little effort, and is sooooo good. Everyone at dinner loved it. Even the picky eater kept taking more on her plate, and then took the leftovers home. We love to grill fresh pineapple, and we're going to try serving the grilled pineapple slices over the rice. Yummm! Be sure to try this at least once.
