During our recent vacation with friends and family, one night we had grilled pineapple as part of the dinner. It was so popular, that any time a person would go to the store, they picked up another pineapple – resulting in three dinners with a side of grilled pineapple. One of our friends even had the left overs for breakfast! Take Vicki’s advice when she says, “the secret is to have a very big, sharp knife.” This was said after she almost lost a finger to a dull knife.
Pick up one ripe, whole pineapple. Give it the sniff test – you should be able to smell the pineapple’s aroma.
Cut the pineapple into 8 equal sections, keeping skin and top intact. Oil the grill. Grill pineapple on both sides until you see obvious grill marks (10-15 minutes). You won’t taste anything sweeter. Goes great with any simple celebration of chicken, shrimp or pork, and don’t forget to serve it along with our fabulous fish tacos!
This looks wonderful!
