This is a great tropical, healthy rice breakfast. It would be perfect served on a morning when you want something substantial, yet light and fresh tasting.

Ingredients

1 cup Arborio rice (this is the Italian rice risotto is made with)
2 cups water
1 can coconut milk
1 can cubed pineapple (save juice)
¼ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup raisins
1 cup cubed firm banana

Method

Bring water with rice to a boil in medium sized sauce or soup pan on high heat. Once it comes to a boil, turn heat to medium low and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently for creaminess. While the rice is cooking prepare the rest of the ingredients. As water is absorbed in rice add pineapple juice from can and keep cooking. When that is absorbed add the can of coconut milk. As that gets absorbed, but while still creamy, add rest of ingredients. Heat for another 2-3 minutes and serve when rice is tender. This should be still juicy and creamy without being runny. This is good served warm or cold.
