• Roast, turning pineapple every 30 minutes and basting with sugar syrup, until pineapple is caramelized and tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 2 hours.
• Remove pineapple from oven, and let cool. Discard vanilla bean. Coarsely chop pineapple.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH LEMONGRASS CHIBOOST

Steps:

• Roasted Pineapple:
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the seeded vanilla bean. Add the granulated and the light brown sugar, stirring continuously. Add the diced pineapple. Cook the mixture until the pineapple is translucent, about 10 to 20 minutes.
• Lemongrass Pastry Cream:
• Pour the milk in a large pot on high heat. Clean and slice the lemongrass and add to the milk and bring to a boil. Turn off heat. Let steep for 1 hour. Add seeded vanilla bean. Bring to a boil again. Take out the vanilla bean and strain the mixture through a sieve into a mixing bowl. Combine sugar, pastry flour and yolks and temper by adding in the hot liquid slowly. This mixture will form a stiff pastry cream. Whisk rapidly over low flame for 1 minute. Put mixture in a blender. Blend out lumps.
• Italian Meringue:
• Heat the sugar (123 degrees C) to soft-ball stage. Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form and then pour in the hot sugar. Continue whipping the mixture together until stiff peaks form. Fold the Italian Meringue into the lemongrass pastry cream. Pipe the mixture into round flexible molds. Freeze the molds overnight. Take the molds out of the freezer 3 hours before serving. Once the cream begins to thaw, turn the mold upside down and remove the formed cream onto the center of a plate.
• Garnish the plate with the roasted pineapple mixture. For added presentation, sprinkle sugar on top and torch.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay the pineapple on its side and slice off the top and the bottom. Stand the pineapple upright and trim off the rind. Try to get as much of the 'eyes' off as possible. Slice the pineapple in half, then into quarters. Lay a quarter on the cutting board and slice out the tough core. Repeat with all the quarters.
• Slice each wedge in half and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each wedge with half the melted butter or coconut oil and sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Roast for 15 minutes.
• Flip the pineapple wedges and brush with the remaining butter or oil and roast for another 15 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRILL-ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-low, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off, ideally the one in the middle). If you have a grill thermometer, the ideal temperature range is 275°F-350°F. Place pineapple over indirect heat, cover grill, and slowly roast, turning pineapple occasionally, until outside is dark brown, flesh is beginning to collapse underneath skin, and some juices are bubbling up in places, 2-2 1/2 hours. Let cool slightly, then cut as desired.

• Roast Stir together sugar and salt and sprinkle evenly over both sides of pineapple pieces. Arrange pineapple in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Dot evenly with butter; add rosemary.
