Best Pineapple Hot Sauce Recipes

GRILLED MAHI MAHI TACOS WITH RED CABBAGE SLAW, TOMATO AND AVOCADO SALSA AND PINEAPPLE HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Brush fillets with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove from grill and drizzle with some of the Citrus Vinaigrette. Let rest 5 minutes and then flake with a fork.
• Fill each fried tortilla with some of the mahi, top with the Red Cabbage Slaw, Tomato and Avocado Salsa, and drizzle with Charred Pineapple-habanero Hot Sauce.
• Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend for 1 minute.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Gently combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat a grill to high or preheat the broiler. Place the whole pineapple (do not peel it) on the grill and grill until the entire surface is completely black and charred. Remove from grill and let cool slightly. Peel the pineapple, remove the core and coarsely chop the flesh.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add the onion and cook until soft. Add the pineapple, pineapple puree, habanero and vinegar and cook until the mixture is completely soft, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and honey, to taste. Strain the mixture into a bowl.

FRIED CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Quarter each chicken thigh, then tip into a large bowl. Season well with the salt, then pour over the buttermilk and give it all a good mix. Cover and chill overnight.
• Combine the rice flour, cornflour, baking powder, paprika, garlic granules, dried oregano, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper in a medium bowl. Drop in the brined chicken pieces, four at a time, tossing lightly to coat well. Gently shake off any excess, then arrange on a baking tray.
• Heat the oil in a large, deep saucepan (ensuring it is no more than two-thirds full) to 170C or until a cube of bread dropped in browns within 30 seconds. Fry the chicken in small batches for 3 mins at a time until golden and cooked through. This will help keep the oil at the right temperature and won't overcrowd the pan.
• Remove the fried chicken pieces to a clean tea towel using tongs to drain off any excess oil, then transfer to a wire rack to ensure they stay crisp. Alternatively, put the fried chicken on a clean baking tray and keep warm and crisp in a low oven. When all the chicken pieces have been fried, drop the oregano leaves into the hot oil and fry until crisp, about 30 seconds- 1 min. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, scatter over the fried oregano and serve with the pineapple sauce (see 'goes well with', below).

PINEAPPLE HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Blitz the pineapple in a blender until smooth, then tip into a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the lime zest and juice. Stir in the chilli, paprika, cayenne or chilli powder and a pinch of salt and cook for about 5 mins, stirring continuously.
• Tip in the honey and let the mixture bubble for a couple more minutes until slightly thickened. Pour into a small heatproof bowl, stir in the butter and leave to cool. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to five days.

CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE WITH HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler or grill.
• Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple and, working vertically, slice the skin off the fruit. Cut into quarters and then into about three pieces again lengthwise so you have wedges of pineapple. Cut out the woody core and arrange the pineapple in a shallow dish.
• Chop the chocolate and place it and the rum into a bowl over hot water. (Bring the water to a boil, then remove it from the heat and place the bowl of chocolate and rum on top.) Stir melted mixture thoroughly, then add the cream plus any juice that has gathered in the plate of fruit. When the sauce is thick, smooth and hot, pour into a bowl with a ladle, or enough little bowls to give one per person.
• Thread the pineapple onto the skewers. Lay the pineapple kebabs on a sheet of foil and sprinkle them with brown sugar. Either broil or grill the pineapple until it caramelizes and scorches along the edges.
• Take the kebabs from the broiler or grill and lay them on a large plate. Let guests take kebabs as they want, dipping the pineapple skewers into the hot chocolate sauce.
