Chef V tip: For more protein, add 1 pound chopped grilled chicken. This is a great side or a meal in itself.

TOTAL: 30 minutes

Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 15 Min

Serving Size: 2 People

• 1 pound mixed veggies (use your favs!), lightly salted

• ½ cup diced yellow onion

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, divided use

• 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed

• 2 cups cooked brown rice

• 2 tablespoons raw coconut aminos, divided     (I like Coconut Secret®)

• ½ cup pineapple, diced

• ¼ cup chopped cilantro

• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional

1. Spray a grill or grill pan with coconut oil cooking spray. Cook veggies for 3-5 minutes per side, until done. Remove from grill, cut into 1-inch pieces, and set aside.

   Sauté onions in 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic, remaining oil, and cooked rice. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then stir in 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos. Continue to cook for 1 more minute. Slowly stir in the remaining coconut aminos, diced pineapple, and grilled veggies. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro and red pepper flakes, if desired. Remove from heat, plate, and serve hot.
