TROPICAL CITRUS SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat.
• add garlic and shallots - cook for 30-40 seconds.
• Add lime juice, pineapple juice, mango , and parsley - cook down for about 5-7 minutes.
• In the last minute of cooking, add butter and jalapeno pepper and stir until butter is melted.
• Serve over grilled fish or chicken.
• Just a Note:I tried this recipe with cilantro instead of flatleaf parsley and found only minor differences. With the flatleaf parsley, I found that the sauce was mild and acted as a flavor enhancer to the fish (grouper). With the cilantro, I noticed it brought out a bright and robust flavor to the sauce and tasted quite nicely in contrast to the mild grouper. Either way, I found it very tasty!

• Place the mango pieces, banana slices and pineapple on a sheet of foil and brush with lime juice. Set aside.
• When the grill is ready, brush with vegetable oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken pieces, cavity sides down, on the grill and cook for 10 minutes. Turn and baste with the marinade and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Baste and turn chicken every 5 minutes for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
• Lightly brush the fruits with melted butter. Set the foil on the grill during the last 10 minutes of cooking time. Perforate the foil to allow the heat to reach the fruit, then fold the foil into a packet and cook until the fruit is slightly limp and lightly charred.
• Place the chicken on a platter and arrange the fruit along the edges.
