\"Pineapple<\/a>Recently I shared with you our little idea of spoiling ourselves during the weekend and making different and unusual main meals and treats. Influenced by the hot Bank Holiday weather and craving hot sun, sandy beaches and the blue sea, I decided to make a rather tropical dinner to remind me of those beautiful and careless days and evenings, when you’re having fun away from work and problems, you’re surrounded by the people you love and everyone is laughing…\u00a0\"Tropical<\/a><\/p>\n

Precisely this picture was in my head when I was thinking what to make for dinner. I have no idea why unheard of recipes and combinations were appearing in my head. Or maybe I know! Perhaps because it is summer I’m craving more fruit than usual, or maybe lately I’m just crazy about main meals with fruit – mango or blueberry pork chops, orange turkey breast fillets, salmon with strawberries… I won’t give away all of the recipes that you can expect in the next weeks, I can just tell you that they are truly irresistible and it’s definitely worth it to try something different and not so traditional.<\/p>\n

So this is how this Caribbean dinner came to our table – compelling pineapple coconut rice with cashews and honey-glazed chicken with mango-strawberry salsa<\/a>. It sounds a bit complicated and time consuming but making this coconut rice is actually very quick and easy – it takes as much time as boiling the rice. The secret is in the combination of ingredients which will make you feel like you’re having your dinner on an exotic beach on one of the many Caribbean islands, burying your toes in the cooling sand and the sea breeze caressing your face…\"Caribbean<\/a><\/p>\n
