Looking for something really simple and satisfying, this will do it! This can be used as a side dish, or complete meal served over steamed brown rice (add a meat alternative if you like, but good just as it is).
Makes 5 - 6 servings.
3 c fresh pineapple, cubed or 24 oz can of pineapple chunks
1 red bell pepper, cubed or sliced
1 medium red or white onion, cut into thin wedges
1 T toasted sesame oil
1 T canola oil
1 T Vegan dark brown sugar
1 T shredded or flaked coconut (optional, but yummy)
1 T fresh squeezed lime juice
Arrange pineapple, red bell pepper and onions on a baking sheet lined with foil for easy clean-up! Drizzle with toasted sesame oil and canola oil, sprinkle with Vegan dark brown sugar, season with fresh cracked black pepper and toss to coat.
In a 400 degree oven roast pineapple mixture approx. 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. Remove from oven, sprinkle with coconut and drizzle with lime juice. Can be served hot or at room temperature.
*Pineapple juice, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar and lime juice make a nice marinade for our Kickin' Kebob's (watch for our recipe on 1/16/11)!
Serve over a bed of steamed brown rice.

Vegan, Vegetarian or Flexitarian?
Vegans are those who eat plant products only. No products derived from animals, meat, eggs, dairy, honey, fur or leather.
Becoming a Vegan is very challenging.
If its overwhelming becoming a VEGAN, here are some groovy choices to start with:
Vegetarians eat mostly plant products. A lacto-vegetarian include plant foods + dairy. A lacto-ovo vegetarian include dairy + eggs. A Vegetarian who will eat fish is called pescevegetarian or piscetarian, but consume no red meat, chicken or pork.
Flexitarians are those who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but occasionally eat meat.

*This blog is an attempt to provide healthier low sodium recipe choices. Scientific evidence overwhelming suggests that we need to use less sodium and add many fruits and vegetables to our diet.
*Calcium, eat broccoli, beans, leafy green vegetables, almonds, soy milk, tofu and calcium-fortified orange juice!
*Protein, beans, lentils, tofu, soy or almond milk, peanut or almond butter, peas, tempeh, whole grains, brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa, walnuts and almonds, seeds and seitan (wheat gluten).
*B12 (which is not found in plants), for a healthy nervous system. Make sure to include beans, nuts, whole grains and leafy green vegetables for iron.
*Omega-3 fatty acids, another essential nutrient. Found in fish, flax seeds, hemp seed and oils and algae.
*Choline, found in lettuce. Buy dark leafy green lettuce, like Romaine.
