Pineapple Power: Savoury Recipes to Reimagine This Tropical Treat
This sunshine-coloured fruit is surprisingly versatile
Pineapple, the king of tropical fruits, can be used in much more than just refreshments. It has a unique combination of sweetness and acidity, making it a perfect complement for a variety of ingredients.
Grilled teriyaki chicken with pineapple glaze
It is a delightful fusion of sweet and savoury. Marinate your Godrej Real Good Chicken in a teriyaki sauce, then grill to juicy perfection. While the chicken sizzles, whip up a quick glaze with pineapple chunks, brown sugar, and some soy sauce. Brush this glaze over the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling, creating a caramelized and flavourful masterpiece.
Pineapple salsa
Salsa isn't just for tomatoes! This vibrant pineapple salsa is a perfect accompaniment to grilled fish, tacos, or even a simple bowl of chips. Combine chopped pineapple with onions, jalapenos (for a kick!), cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. The sweetness of the pineapple balances the spice of the jalapenos, creating a refreshing and versatile salsa that will brighten up any meal.
Spicy pineapple curry
Take your curry game to the next level with this unexpected twist. Sauté your favourite vegetables in a fragrant curry base. Then, add chunks of pineapple along with your protein of choice (chicken, tofu, or shrimp). The pineapple will soften slightly, releasing its sweetness and balancing the heat of the curry. Finish with coconut milk for an extra touch of creaminess.
Sweet and savoury pineapple fried rice
Fried rice gets a tropical upgrade with the addition of pineapple. Simply cook your rice and stir-fry it with vegetables, scrambled eggs, and of course, chunks of pineapple. Soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a sprinkle of sesame oil add depth of flavour, while the pineapple adds a delightful sweetness that elevates this classic dish. Serve it in a pineapple shell for a visual delight.
Pineapple and chicken skewers
These are perfect for a quick and elegant appetizer. Thread chunks of pineapple and Godrej Real Good Chicken onto skewers and grill until crispy and the pineapple is slightly softened. A drizzle of lemon or your favourite sauce adds a touch of sweet and tangy complexity.
