This is an interesting take on fried rice, finished off by baking it in a hot oven stuffed inside a hollowed-out pineapple. Perhaps not ideal for those who don’t like pineapple in their fried rice (they probably don’t like pineapple on their pizza either) but the novelty of baking it inside a pineapple may get them to give it a go.
