Caribbean Wild Rice
It's easy to imagine yourself on a Caribbean island with the flavors in this main dish recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 8-ounce can unsweetened pineapple tidbits, juice reserved
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or soy sauce alternative see Recipe Notes
- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup chopped snow peas
- 1 cup chopped zucchini
- 1/2 cup chopped jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained (or chopped red bell pepper)
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups cooked wild rice
- Avocado slices
- Chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, and cook until soft and translucent. Add garlic, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly so garlic doesn’t burn.
- Add ½ cup pineapple juice, Bragg's Liquid Aminos, and lime juice. Stir in carrots, snow peas, zucchini, red peppers, black beans, and chickpeas. Increase heat to medium high, stirring often. Cook 5 minutes, or until 3/4 of the liquid is absorbed and vegetables are slightly softened.
- Add wild rice and pineapple. Increase heat, and stir-fry until heated through. Serve immediately.
- Garnish with avocado slices and chopped macadamia nuts.
- Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 cup)
Notes
- Use cooked brown rice instead of wild rice.
- Bragg's Liquid Aminos is an alternative to soy sauce that has no added salt or preservatives. It's a certified non-GMO (not genetically modified) liquid protein concentrate, derived from healthy soybeans, that contains 16 essential and non-essential amino acids. Coconut Aminos is another option (my preference).
This was really good! Definitely going to make it again!
Great! Thanks for your feedback. May God bless you as you seek Him!
This is my favorite Daniel fast recipe! I tried it for the first time 2 years ago on our first Daniel fast and it was a hit. I’ve even made it multiple times throughout the year. The combination of sweet pineapple and salty macadamia is amazing! I love to make whole wheat tortillas, cut them into triangles right off the stove and we use them to scoop up the rice. Yummy!
Excellent taste.We loved the touch of pineapple.We still have some for tomorrow. Maybe?
This is amazing!!!! Definitely one of mine and my husbands favorite dishes.
