Chili Pineapple

Recipe #61861 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Sackville
May 9, 2003

Chili, salt and pineapple is just one of those weird food combinations that really works. The chef who introduced me to this idea, Lindsey Bareham, recommends serving this recipe with drinks before dinner. To really make the dish shine you need to have a chilli with a bit of kick in it, although it doesn't have be one of the really firey ones like a habanero or bird's eye.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

    I'm not a big pineapple fan but this is a very nice way of eating pineapple. My pineapple wasn't that sweet but it still worked out okay. Definitely worth a try!

    I am giving this five stars, because it is so different and really does work. had husband, 2 girlfriends and a 10 year old over this afternoon, and asked them to be testers. I sliced the chili very finely, and salted lightly, and it is incredible how the 3 flavors meld. I live in a place where pineapple is a common fruit, and I have always found them a little too sweet, but this takes the edge off. the chili I used was very hot, and we all took a mouthfull, chewed like crazy, and them had a drink , but everyone agreed it was great, and we would do it again!!!!

    I love anything spicy, sweet, tart and salty! I thought it's very refreshing. I've had pineapple with salt before, but not with the hot pepper. I used a red Thai pepper and it had a nice kick! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
