Pineapple bowl

South American style

Ingredients:

  • Whole pineapple 
  • 1 avocado 
  • 1 cup of organic, raw black beans 
  • Jasmine or basmati rice (I used 1 cup for three portions)
  • 1 plantain - green or yellow
  • 2 cups of coconut milk 
  • 1 tomato
  • Chopped onion
  • Chopped parsley
  • Grapeseed oil for frying
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Black pepper
  • Paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Cumin
  • Parsley

Instructions:

1. Sticky coconut rice - Sauté chopped onions in a large boiling pan with coconut oil until soft. Add rice and coconut milk, bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until rice is soft.

2. Black beans - Soak over night. To cook - Bring beans, 1 cup of vegetable broth and a bay leaf to a boil then turn down heat and simmer. Add 2 tbsp of coconut oil, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and parsley. Simmer all ingredients for one hour. (A quick alternative method is buying canned black beans, rinse thoroughly and cook in a sauce pan with the same ingredients for 15 - 20 minutes) This method isn’t as flavorful but is still good!

3. Plantain chips - Cut the plantain into thin, circular slices. Fry the slices in grapeseed oil under medium-low heat until golden brown and crispy on each side. 

4. Pico de Gallo - Combine small pieces of chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.

5. Avocado mixture - Mash 1 avocado and season to taste. I added black pepper, cayenne pepper, Himalayan sea salt, onion powder and a drop of olive oil. 

6. Pineapple shell - Slice a whole pineapple down the middle to create two halves. Carve the inside of one half by slicing around the edges. Use a spoon to scoop out the inside. 

Get creative by adding all ingredients to the pineapple shell and enjoy!
