Tropical Dessert from the grill
Pineapple tastes fantastic in chunks, rings, or in fruit salads. But have you ever put it on the grill? Doing so brings out its unique flavor component.
Cutting the tropical fruit can be a headache for many people, but it doesn't have to be! While some opt for pre-cut pineapple from the supermarket shelf, you avoid plastic waste by chopping it yourself. Here is our step-by-step guide:
- Cut off the stem and the bottom of the pineapple
- Use a sharp knife to remove the flesh from the skin by cutting along the curvature
- Slice the pineapple into slices
- Cut out the core part using a shot glass or a knife
Fun Fact: Pineapple contains the bromelain enzyme, which can break down proteins in your mouth while eating and cause a tingling or burning sensation.
