Sub-Recipe Directions

Pineapple Tamarind Glaze

Step 1: In a small sauce pan bring pineapple juice to a low simmer. Whisk in the rest of the ingredients, making sure the tamarind paste and sugar dissolve fully to prevent scorching.

Step 2: Continue cooking over low heat for 10 - 15-minutes until slightly thickened and glossy. Whisk frequently while reducing.

Step 3: Remove from heat and hold warm for tossing wings.

Grilled Pineapple Slices

Step 1: If your pineapple still has a crown, break it off with your hands.

Step 2: Using a chef knife cut a 1/2" slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple to remove the rind and create two flat surfaces.

Step 3: With the ends removed, stand the pineapple up and use your knife to remove the rest of the rind. Working from top to bottom along the side making sure not to remove too much flesh.

Step 4: With all of the rind removed, cut the pineapple into quarters from top to bottom. 

Step 5: Lay each quarter on it's side. Using your chef knife slice lengthwise along the quarter to remove the core.

Step 6: Toss quarters with olive oil.

Step 7: Grill the pineapple with the interior side facing down on the grill over high heat to get heavy charring on one side. Be careful not to overcook pineapple. Remove from grill and chill whole.

Step 8: Before service slice pineapple quarters lengthwise into even pieces, making sure to get some char on each slice.
