Roasted Pineapple W Balsamic Glaze Honey Fresh Goat Cheese Food

ROASTED PINEAPPLE W BALSAMIC GLAZE HONEY & FRESH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Coat the bottom of a baking dish with some of the butter, arrange the pineapple slices and bake at 450F for about 15- 20 minutes.
• Divide the rest of the butter into the center of the pineapple slices. Drizzle with the balsamic and bake for a further 5 minutes.
• To serve, fill the hole with the fresh goat cheese (or another very creamy cheese) and pour some of the cooking liquid over it, then drizzle with honey.
• Allow to cool to at room temperature before serving.

PERFECT HONEY-BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk balsamic vinegar and honey together in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir garlic, rosemary, and garlic salt into vinegar mixture. Cook and stir until mixture starts to foam. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until glaze coats the back of a wooden spoon, 30 to 40 minutes.

PROSCIUTTO SPIRALS WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Prepare glaze by simmering vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced by half. Set aside. According to the recipe, this should take 7-9 minutes but I found it took quite a bit longer. Now I use the balsamic glaze mentioned in the description.
• Prepare the filling by whisking (or beating with a mixer) the cream cheese until smooth. Add artichokes, onion and basil to cream cheese and mix well.
• To assemble rolls, lay a sheet of plastic wrap on work surface. Arrange four slices of prosciutto vertically on plastic wrap, overlapping slightly to form a 9 inch square. Spread 1/3 cup of artichoke filling over prosciutto. Top with 1/2 cup of arugula (you could substitute romaine cut in thin strips).
• Starting at the side closest to you, tightly roll up prosciutto and fillings like a jelly-roll or a sushi roll. Wrap up in the plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to serve. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 rolls.
• To serve, remove each roll from plastic wrap and slice into 12 spirals for a total of 48 rolls. Place on serving platter and drizzle with glaze.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper.
• Slice pineapple crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Squeeze lime juice over pineapple slices. Combine the sugar, salt, and chili powder in a shallow dish. Coat each pineapple slice on both sides with sugar mixture and return to the baking sheet. Transfer pineapple slices to oven, and roast until very soft and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH HONEY AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir first 3 ingredients in a large bowl until sugar dissolves. Add pineapple; toss to coat. Let marinate, tossing occasionally, for 10 minutes. Place pineapple, one flat side down, on prepared sheet; reserve marinade.
• Roast pineapple for 15 minutes. Turn, brush with marinade, and roast until tender and caramelized, 10-15 minutes. Drizzle remaining marinade over; let cool slightly.
• Divide pineapple among plates. Spoon crème fraîche alongside. Garnish with nuts and mint.
