Pineapple Fried Rice

The rains in Lagos in the last couple of days  has so frustrated my posts on the blog you can’t imagine. It’s so funny how much I have longed for good sunshine. So this last weekend nature  smiled a bit on me and I was able to do a couple of things which will be coming your way soon.
The first is my own version of Pineapple Fried Rice. I know that a lot of people parboil the rice for fried rice but wait a minute is the name of the dish not fried rice? So logically the rice should be fried , so usually I fry the rice . This way the seasoning goes well into the rice rather than remain on the surface. Seeing that we cook Jollof Rice this way I am wondering why the fried rice story should be different . Well someone will say there are many ways to  catch a rat.
Yes but sometimes one way is more effective.
Enjoy my offering today.

4 pieces Beef sausages (cut in rings)
