Ingredients

    1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
    1/2 cup quinoa
    1/2 cup lentils
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    2 teaspoons curry powder
    1/2 cup unsweetened dried coconut
    1/4 cup chopped pecans
    1/4 cup finely diced red onion


Directions

Pour the pineapple juice into a measuring pitcher, and add enough water to make 2 cups. Set the pineapple chunks aside. Pour the pineapple juice into a saucepan, and stir in the quinoa and lentils. Season with salt, black pepper, and curry powder. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lentils and quinoa have absorbed the water, about 30 minutes. Stir in the coconut, and simmer for 5 minutes more.
Stir in the pineapple chunks, pecans, and onion; cook briefly to reheat. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.
