Smoky Pineapple Grills with a Peppered Twist

Method

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, a delicate pinch of sea salt, and a generous grind of fresh black pepper, creating a simple yet aromatic coating.

2. 2

   Lightly brush both sides of each pineapple round with the prepared seasoned oil, ensuring every surface is glistening and ready to absorb the smoky flavours.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill or a heavy-bottomed grill pan to a medium-high heat, allowing it to get beautifully hot, ready to impart those perfect char marks.

4. 4

   Carefully place the seasoned pineapple rounds onto the hot grill, listening for that satisfying sizzle. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, until deeply golden with distinctive char lines and slightly softened.

5. 5

   Once perfectly charred and fragrant, remove the pineapple from the grill and arrange artfully on a serving platter, allowing its vibrant colours to shine.

6. 6

   Serve these smoky, sweet-and-savoury grilled pineapple slices warm, allowing their unique flavour profile to shine as a surprisingly refreshing finish to any meal.
