Grilled Pineapple – A Succulent Side Dish

Image

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!
