Grilled Rum Basted Pineapple With Sorbet Food

GRILLED RUM-BASTED PINEAPPLE WITH SORBET

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place pineapple on grill; cook until just heated through, about 1 minute per side. Brush generously with rum; grill 1 minute longer on each side. Transfer to plates; brush with rum. Top each pineapple round with small scoops of sorbet; garnish with mint. Serve with cookies.

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.

GRILLED MARSALA PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Place corinader seeds, cumin seeds, black cardamom, green cardamom seeds, fennel seeds, 2 pieces cinnamon, 4 pieces cloves, and 8 pieces peppercorn in a heavy bottom frying pan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture turn a few shades darker and has a sweet aroma.
• Set aside the mixture and let it cool. Transfer the mixture to a spice grinder, and grind to a fine powder. Stir in nutmeg, turmeric and ginger.
• Set your indoor grill to 450°F Once hot, place skewered pineapple and close lid. Cook for three minutes or until golden brown. Remove from grill, and immediately sprinkle each skewer with 1/2 teaspoons sugar and Masala (2.5 ml).
• Grilled Masala pineapple can be used over freshly made Belgian waffles topped with your favorite yogurt and maple syrup.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM REDUCTION SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pineapple into 8 wedges, remove core and rind with a knife.
• Place the wedges into a freezer bag with the brown sugar, seal the bag and massage brown sugar onto the wedges.
• Allow the pineapple to macerate in the brown sugar for anywhere from two hours to two days; refrigerate if macerating more than a few hours. The pineapple should release enough juice to dissolve the brown sugar completely.
• Heat the grill to medium heat.
• Add the vanilla and rum to the bag, seal and shake.
• Remove the pineapple from the bag and place it on the grill.
• When the pineapple becomes caramel colored on the bottom side, rotate it. Repeat for each of the 3 sides of each wedge, then remove from the grill.
• Pour the juice from the bag into a saucepan and reduce over medium heat to a thick syrup (be careful of flare-ups during the first minutes since there will be alcohol from the rum and vanilla extract).
• Serve the pineapple alongside a main dish or serve with ice cream and drizzle with the reduction sauce.
