I have made coconut rice in previous recipes on this blog. If you try just one, please let it be this recipe. The pineapple and cilantro add just the right amount of complementing tastes to make this dish memorable.

Here in Southern California, zucchini and summer squash are always available. If you can’t find any in your area you can substitute another vegetable such as broccoli, carrots and/or cauliflower.

ENJOY!
