A little bit sweet with a hint of sourness from the pineapple make this stew a winner in my book. Let it cook until the liquid that’s left is a little sticky but still on the runny side, perfect for saucing the rice. YUM.
I love this dish…one of my favorites. I tend to eat more rice with this but I don’t mind, because it is sooo good and worth the extra calories!
Happy Cooking!
