Grilled Pineapple Salsa a la Plancha

This vibrant salsa with a bright and fresh taste adds pizzaz to many meals. (Yes you can just devour with a spoon! )
Easy to prepare – pineapple cooks on a seasoned cast iron skillet until beautifully caramelized and golden.

Naturally Sweet with just the right heat

Grilled Pineapple Salsa a la Plancha

Ingredients

½ large pineapple, skin and core removed

1 ½ teaspoons pure cane sugar

½ teaspoon neutral oil*

½ teaspoon fresh garlic, peeled and finely grated

⅛ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon chopped canned chipotle pepper, minced

1 ½ teaspoons fresh lime juice

⅓ cup jicama, peeled, ¼” dice

2 tablespoons fresh scallions, thinly sliced, or red onion

¼ teaspoon dried ground chiles, moderate heat (optional, but I like it!)

Instructions

1

Cut pineapple in half lengthwise. Slice into 1/2 inch triangle slices.
On a large platter, sprinkle sugar all over tho coat. Add a single layer of pineapple pieces, then turn over with a fork to coat on both sides.

2

Heat a cast iron skillet or La Plancha to medium-high heat.
When hot, brush with 1/2 teaspoon oil, may need a drop more if not pre-seasoned.
Add pineapple pieces in a single layer. DO NOT move – let get very golden underneath.
Peak using tongs, turn over when very golden. Cook second side until very golden.
Cook only a total of 2 minutes, 1 minute on both sides (otherwise you will overcook.)

3

Remove the pineapple pieces to a large cutting board.
Cut into small chunks, add to a medium sized bowl.
While still a little warm – add the remaining ingredients.
Add the ground chiles if you like a little spicier.

4

Store in an airtight glass container and refrigerate. Best served cool.

5

Garnish with fresh herbs if you desire; basil, cilantro, chives or parsley – chopped or sliced.

A great salsa to top grilled chicken, fish or vegan proteins.

* with concerns about gmo’s and processing of oils, use a vegetable oil which has not been chemically treated, this is called “expeller pressed.”
