Blackened Pineapple

Simple, sweet, smoky, and deliciously juicy---the pineapple caramelizes beautifully on the grill and served with a fiery herby mixture. It makes a great snack or side with grilled meat. You can grill the wedges with skin on and cut the wedges by sliding a pairing knife in between the skin and flesh of pineapple.

Blackened Pineapple

adapted from Olive

1 Pineapple, peeled (or not), crown left on and quartered
25 g Flat parsley (cilantro or mint), finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated
1 tsp Hot sauce of your choice
1 Organic lime, zested and juiced
½ tsp Freshly milled black pepper
Sea salt, to taste
Chilli threads, to garnish (optional)

Cut the pineapple into quarters with the tops still left on. Heat a barbecue or a griddle pan on the stove to a high heat. Grill them for 5-8 minutes on each cut side until you have nice char marks.
Meanwhile, combine parsley, garlic, hot sauce and lime zest in a bowl. Season with black pepper and salt.
Once the pineapple comes off the grill, brush with the lime juice and scatter over the parsley mixture and garnish with chilli threads. Enjoy!
