Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup tequila
1 ½ tablespoons ground chipotle chiles
1 lemon
1 lime
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the pineapple lengthwise into 8 wedges. Place the wedges into a sealable plastic container or sealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, stir together the cilantro, tequila and chipotle. Pour into the container with the pineapple. Cut lemon and lime in half, squeeze out some juice and put the juice and fruit into the container. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, turning pineapple once.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. When the coals are hot, brush a light coating of oil on the grate.
  • Grill wedges for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. If you like you can make a sauce by cooking the marinade in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the sauce is thick and syrupy. It will be very spicy!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I'll try it again with more spices next time.

This recipe was too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pineapple. I always have a few slices left over after I make a pineapple upside-down cake.

This recipe was a hit at my last party! The pineapple was perfectly caramelized and the cilantro-tequila marinade gave it a delicious flavor.
