Coconut Pineapple Skewers With Marshmallows Food

TROPICAL PINEAPPLE COCONUT COLESLAW

Steps:

• Place the shredded cabbage, carrots, and pineapple in a large bowl.
• Separate the solid coconut cream from the coconut milk and warm the coconut cream slightly.
• Add the warmed coconut cream, lime juice, salt (if using), and sugar to a blender jug.
• Blend it up and add as much coconut milk (or none) as you like.
• Pour the dressing over the veggies and mix well.
• Top with sliced green onions and fresh herbs.

FRUIT AND MARSHMALLOW KABOBS

Steps:

• Thread 1 each pineapple chunk, strawberry and marshmallow onto each of 10 skewers.
• Place chocolate and coconut in separate shallow bowls.
• Dip skewers, 1 at a time, into chocolate, then coconut, turning to evenly coat each skewer with each ingredient.
• Refrigerate 30 min.

COCONUT SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Remove meat from pineapple by running a knife along the skin to peel it, quartering the fruit lengthwise and then cutting close to the core of each piece to remove the flesh. Cut the meat into one-inch cubes.
• In small bowl whisk together curry paste and coconut milk. Set aside.
• Thread one shrimp and one pineapple chunk on to each skewer. Baste with curry sauce. Cook about 4-5 minutes per side until shrimp is opaque. Turn frequently and continue to brush with sauce.

PINEAPPLE SKEWERS WITH COCONUT AND MINT

Steps:

• Peel and core the pineapple, reserve the core. Cut the pineapple into about 1 1/2-inch chunks and roughly chop the core. Set the pineapple chunks aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple core, 3/4 cup of water, allspice, ginger, cinnamon, and star anise. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and just enough water so that it resembles wet sand. Place the pan over medium to medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture begins to boil. Stop stirring and continue to cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add in the spice mixture. Stir the caramel, return it to medium heat, and simmer until reduced to a glaze, about 8 minutes. Set the caramel aside and let cool slightly. Strain the caramel into a bowl and discard the solids.
• Add the pineapple chunks to the caramel and toss to combine. Marinate at room temperature for an hour or refrigerate overnight.
• Put the toasted coconut on a plate. Using a fork, remove the pineapple chunks from the caramel. Working with one chunk at a time, roll the pineapple in the coconut, pressing it on. Thread the coconut-coated pineapple chunks onto the ends of the skewers, about 1 or 2 per skewer. Transfer to a serving platter and strew the mint over the top. Serve at room temperature.

COCONUT-PINEAPPLE SKEWERS WITH MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. As the grill is heating, thread pineapple chunks onto metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers (see Tip), leaving space in between each piece for maximum browning. Brush all sides of the pineapple chunks with coconut oil and dust with cinnamon.
• When the grill is hot, lightly brush the grates with oil, and add the pineapple skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until they are evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 4 to 8 minutes.
• While the pineapple is grilling, divide marshmallows across 4 bowls. Remove pineapple from the grill and, using a fork, immediately slide the pineapple off the skewers and onto the marshmallows. Let sit for a few minutes for the hot pineapple to soften the marshmallows.
• Sprinkle each serving with shredded coconut, and top with pecans and small scoops of coconut sorbet or ice cream, if using.

MARSHMALLOW SKEWER POPS

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Skewer three marshmallows on each stick. Spoon chocolate over marshmallows; set on waxed paper until firm. Drizzle with melted colored candy coating.

PINEAPPLE MARSHMALLOW DESSERT

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan over low heat, melt marshmallows and milk. Remove from heat and cool, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in lemon extract, pineapple and whipped cream. Mix well.
• Combine graham crumbs and butter. Press 1 1/2 cups into a 13 x 9" pan.
• Spread the pineapple mixture on top. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.
• Refrigerate 2 - 3 hours before serving.

SEAFOOD, PINEAPPLE & COCONUT KEBABS

Steps:

• You'll need 8 skewers. If using wooden ones, soak for 30 mins before cooking. Fire up the barbecue and allow the flames to subside before cooking, or heat a griddle pan until smoking hot.
• Toss together the prawns, fish, coconut milk and some seasoning in a bowl, then thread onto skewers, together with the pineapple chunks. Tip the desiccated coconut onto a plate and roll each fish kebab in it, pressing on the coconut to help it stick. Dab the kebabs with a little oil and cook for 3-4 mins each side until the prawns turn pink and the fish is cooked through. Serve with lime wedges.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED MARSHMALLOW SKEWERS

Steps:

• Thread 1 each strawberry and marshmallow onto each of 16 small straws or wooden skewers.
• Dip tops of marshmallows in chocolate, then in sprinkles. Refrigerate until firm.

COCONUT CHICKEN AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Cut chicken into 3/4-inch cubes and place in a bowl.
• Place garlic, shallot, ginger, cilantro, salt, cumin, peanut oil, lime juice and coconut milk in processor or blender. Puree until smooth liquid forms.
• Pour marinade over chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours, turning occasionally.
• Preheat grill to medium. Add marinated chicken cube then pineapple cube then another marinated chicken cube to each bamboo skewer. Grill until chicken is slightly golden all over, turning as needed (about 5 minutes each side).
