Fresh Pineapple Bowl Food

FRESH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium serving bowl, combine the pineapple, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Add the lime juice and salt, and stir to combine.
• Season to taste with additional lime juice (for zing) and/or salt (for more overall flavor) if it doesn't taste amazing just yet.
• For best flavor, let the pico de gallo rest for 10 minutes or longer before serving. It's best served fresh but keeps well, chilled, for up to 4 days.

PORK AND PINEAPPLE GRAIN BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the pineapple until well marked, about 2 minutes per side; let cool. Dice the pineapple and mix with the pico de gallo; set aside.
• Season the pork with salt, then rub with the chile powder and 1 teaspoon cumin. Grill, covered, turning every 4 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the farro and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the farro is tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Make the vinaigrette: Whisk the lime juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
• Divide the farro, spinach, cabbage and avocado among bowls. Thinly slice the pork and add to the bowls. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with the pineapple salsa.

PINEAPPLE SEAFOOD BOWLS

Steps:

• Set up the grill for direct cooking over medium heat and oil the grates.
• Skewer the shrimp, scallops, and cod on separate skewers and grill until just cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Cut the pineapples in half. Scoop the flesh from each pineapple to create a bowl, leaving the bottom portion in each pineapple bowl to hold the coconut milk mixture. Reserve the removed pineapple flesh. Wrap bottoms of the pineapple bowl with a double layer of heavy-duty foil.
• Cut the reserved pineapple into bite-size pieces, discarding the hard core. In a medium bowl, combine pineapple, coconut milk, cilantro, and Thai seasoning. Fill each pineapple bowl halfway full of coconut milk mixture.
• Place pineapple bowls on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the coconut milk mixture begins to simmer.
• Remove the pineapple bowls from the grill and carefully remove the aluminum foil. Evenly divide the grilled shrimp, scallops, and cod between the pineapple soup bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Bring orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
• Layer the fruit in a large, clear glass bowl in this order: pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. Pour the cooled sauce over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

FRESH PINEAPPLE BOWL

Steps:

• Slice the pineapple lengthwise with the leaves and remove the pineapple meat from the pineapple bowl.
• Slice the pineapple into chunks.
• Very lightly sprinkle with Ono Hawaiian salt.
• Place chunks in the pineapple bowl.
