TASTE OF THE LODGE
Summer
Sear:
GRILLED
PINEAPPLE
If you’re looking for a great
way to add some sunshine to
your next cookout, try one
of the Woo family favorites:
pineapple!
Easy to prepare, and easy to
cook, it makes the perfect
pairing for everything from
burgers to grilled chicken or
even pork chops. Its versatility
is surprising, so here are a few
ways to try this summer fruit
out on your next menu.
Simply Summery
For a super-easy take on this treat, simply
take slices of pineapple and throw directly
on a lightly-oiled grill. The flavor you’ll get
is straightforward and simple and will go
with anything else you’ve got planned for
your meal.
Sweeter Sides
For something a little sweeter, add fresh
cut pineapple spears to a Ziploc bag with
some brown sugar and cinnamon, and let
marinate for about 30 minutes. The Woo
daughters love it this way. Then, just toss
on the grill. Don’t forget to lightly oil the
grill and toss often as the added sugar will
cause the pineapple to char easily. Pair
this with something saltier or more savory
(like jerk chicken), or eat alone for a great
dessert.
Try one of these and if you
are near the restaurant,
bring the Woos some!
Spicy & Savory
If you’re looking for something with a
little kick (Renee likes her food spicy!), try
coating pineapple in a mixture of honey,
butter and hot sauce. The hot sauce cuts
the sweetness of the pineapple and packs a
punch of flavor.
