Grill Roasted Pineapple Recipes

GRILL-ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-low, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off, ideally the one in the middle). If you have a grill thermometer, the ideal temperature range is 275°F-350°F. Place pineapple over indirect heat, cover grill, and slowly roast, turning pineapple occasionally, until outside is dark brown, flesh is beginning to collapse underneath skin, and some juices are bubbling up in places, 2-2 1/2 hours. Let cool slightly, then cut as desired.

• For roasted pineapple:.
• Preheat the broiler. Cut the ends off the pineapple. Quarter it and cut away the core and skin from each quarter.
• Cut each quarter in half, lengthwise (you should have 8 long strips).
• Stir together the brown sugar and the ginger. Toss with the pineapple pieces.
• Place in a medium flameproof baking dish and broil for 10 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through.
• Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
• For grilled pineapple:.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Slice the pineapple into 1-inch rounds and place in a large bowl.
• Mix together the lime juice, coconut rum, agave syrup and salt in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the pineapple and gently toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
• When ready, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the grill with the olive oil and grill the pineapple for about 3 minutes per side; there should be noticeable grill marks, but it should still be firm in texture. Remove to a serving platter.
• For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream, agave syrup and the reserved lime zest. Whip until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve: Top the grilled pineapple with generous mounds of the whipped cream, scatter over mint leaves and drizzle with agave syrup.
