2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
2 cups long grain rice
4 cups vegetable broth, purchased
½ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup pineapple pieces, finely chopped

Heat olive oil in large skillet and add onion, stirring for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add rice. Cook, stirring constantly over medium heat until rice turns from translucent to milky white, about 4-5 minutes. Add hot vegetable broth, cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Stir in salt, pineapple and basil and serve in hollowed out halves of pineapple for a festive presentation.
