Island Rice Pilaf

Serves 50

Ingredients:
15 lbs rice (like Texmati) (I’ve used Balmati, Jasmine and others), cooked
3 qts slivered fresh pineapple (I sometimes use a small can of tidbits)
4 cups coarsely chopped macadamia nuts or walnuts
8 cups blanched and slivered snow peas
1 cup finely chopped chives

Directions:
1. Prepare all ingredients while rice is cooking.
2. While the rice is still hot, toss with the other ingredients in a large bowl.  Pilaf can be served warm or at room temperature.

I have pictured it here with blackened Hawaiian Sword Fish.  They were delicious
together!
