Summer isn’t really the time to bake (although on the odd heat-free day I go a bit crazy) but we do have a lot of people over and my Mom would yell at me if anyone ever left my house hungry.
This is an easy fallback recipe that has a lot of wow for little effort. I brought it to a dear friend’s house Saturday night. Not only did she make some of the best ribs I’ve ever had BUT sent me home enough to have for dinner the next night!
This meant that Sunday could be spent in the garden finally getting the veg patch in good shape and plant a few things. Bliss.
1) Take a fresh pineapple and skin.
Create 1 1/2 inch slices and sprinkle with brown sugar and coarsely cracked peppercorns. I’m using pink ones today but green or black are just as nice.
2) Grill until carmelized on the barbeque, turning once to allow for grill marks on both sides.
3) Serve on a pretty plate with a scoop of really good vanilla icecream OR a nice coconut sorbet.
You can really put on the dog if you drizzle melted chocolate over the top OR pretend to be really talented by having a bit of salted caramel sauce in the fridge.
Needless to say, I always add a cookie or two even at my most virtuous moments 🙂
"atone for too much shoe shopping" too funny!This sounds amazing! I don't think I've ever had pineapple with peppercorns before. I will have it soon though!
You'll love it! Thanks so much again for the lemon inspiration.
:O I MUST EAT THIS.
You are totally in the right part of the world to do it the right way. Make sure you have lots of I Pream to go with 🙂
