Lime Cilantro Rice with Pineapple

Honestly, it's a little embarrassing how much I love this rice.  The fresh zing of citrus from the limes, the brightness of the cilantro, and the sweetness of the pineapple combine so beautifully.  I have been known to make my entire lunch consist of leftovers of this rice and nothing else.  (It has fruit in it so it's good for me, right?)

Lime Cilantro Rice with Pineapple

Number of Servings: 4-6
Time to Prepare: 25 minutes

• 1 cup (uncooked) rice
• 2 cups water
• 2 Tbsp butter
• juice from 2 small limes (about 4 Tbsp)
• 16 oz crushed pineapple, drained (I usually just do about 3/4 of a 20 oz can)
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• salt
• pepper

Place rice and water in a rice cooker or saucepan and cook until the liquid is absorbed.  Remove from heat.  Place butter on top of rice and put the lid back on to let the butter melt.  When ready to serve, stir lime juice, pineapple, and cilantro into the rice.  Salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
