Wine Pairings by @grapefriend

The general rule is to always have your wine sweeter than your food, so to complement the pineapple here a very slightly sweet Gewürztraminer would be an adventurous choice.

Beer Pairings

American Pale Ale is the perfect foam topped choice!

What To Do:

Grilled Chicken and Caramelized Pineapple Salsa Rice Bowl - Step 1

1. Cook Rice: In a small saucepan, over high heat, bring 1¼ cups water and ¼ teaspoon salt to a boil. Stir in rice and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit, covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

2. Heat a lightly oiled grill or grill pan to medium-high.

6. Make Salsa Rice:: In a medium bowl, stir together rice, chopped pineapple, cilantro, jalapeno, juice from the lime, red onion and ½ teaspoon salt.

To Serve: Roughly chop the chicken and stir into the pineapple salsa rice. Divide between 2 bowls.
