Caribbean rice

various dates

I discovered this when I was looking online for Zatarain's products.
This was one of them, but it is quite easy to make from scratch with bell peppers, coconut and pineapple.

I like this well enough. Marielos does not like recipes that use coconut, so I had this all to myself.
