Ham, Pineapple & Bell Pepper Stir-Fry over Jasmine Rice with CilantroHam, Pineapple & Bell Pepper Stir-Fry over Jasmine Rice with Cilantro — a 35-minute lunch recipe with 11 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 small bunch cilantro

3 cloves garlic

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

680 g ham steak, boneless

1 ½ cups jasmine rice

1 ½ small pineapples

3 red bell peppers

1 ½ (283 g) bags shredded carrots

salt

stir-fry sauce

virgin coconut oil

Instructions

Using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water, then drain and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add water and salt, then bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Once the liquid comes to a boil, stir the mixture, cover the saucepan, and reduce heat to low. Cook rice until liquid is fully absorbed, 15-18 minutes. Once done, remove rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim, seed, and medium dice bell peppers; place in a large bowl.

Cut off skin from each pineapple; quarter, core, and medium dice the flesh. Add to the bowl with the bell pepper.

Peel and mince ginger and garlic; add both to the bowl.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom; add bell pepper, pineapple, ginger, garlic, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes. (Reserve bowl for the next step.)

Meanwhile, shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Place in the reserved bowl and set aside.

Medium dice ham.

When the pineapple and veggies are soft, add half of the cilantro (reserve remainder for garnish), diced ham, and stir-fry sauce to the pot. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, 4-5 minutes more. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

To serve, divide rice and stir-fry between plates or bowls; sprinkle with reserved cilantro. Enjoy!
