Grilled Tequila Lime Pineapple Chunks Recipes

GRILLED PINEAPPLE RINGLETTE WITH TEQUILA LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients, except coconut and pineapple rings, in blender and blend until smooth.
• Freeze the bowl of an ice cream maker according to instructions. Or pour into a covered freezer proof container and place in the freezer. Stir to break-up ice with a fork after the first 30 minutes in the freezer.
• Grill the pineapple rings until golden. Refrigerate until cold. Place a scoop of the sorbet centered on the ring and sprinkle with toasted coconut and put in the freezer for 15 minutes. Serve with Tequila Lime Sauce.
• Tequila Lime Sauce, recipe follows.
• Tequila Lime Sauce:
• 1 ounce tequila
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 cup nonfat yogurt
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• Place all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Place in a sealable container in the refrigerator until needed.

TEQUILA LIME PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Remove rind from pineapple, core, and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices.
• Combine tequila, 1 tbl lime juice, and pineapple. Marinate for 30 minutes.
• Drain and toss with brown sugar.
• Coat saute pan with canola oil and heat on medium high. Add pineapple slices and cook, turning frequently, until caramelized, about 6 minutes. Dice half of the slices into 1/4 inch pieces. (Refrigerate remaining slices for another use. I would probably not bother marinating half of the slices to begin with).
• Combine the diced pineapple with the remaining lime juice and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Let salsa sit for 30 minutes before serving.
