Stir-Fried Pineapple with Ginger Recipe

This dish makes an interesting accompaniment to grilled meat or strongly flavored fish such as tuna or swordfish. If the idea seems strange, think of it as resembling a fresh mango chutney, but with pineapple as the principal ingredient. This also tastes excellent if peaches or nectarines are substituted for the diced pineapple. Use three or four, depending on their size.



Ingredients: (Serves 4)
1 pineapple
15 ml/1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 shallots, finely chopped
5 cm/2 inches piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely shredded
30 ml/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
Juice of ½ lime
1 large fresh red chili, seeded and finely shredded

Method:

Trim and peel the pineapple. Cut out the core and dice the flesh.

Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Stir-fry the garlic and shallots over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until golden. Do not let the garlic burn or the dish will taste bitter.

Add the pineapple. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until the pineapple cubes start to turn golden on the edges.

Add the ginger, soy sauce, lime juice and shredded chili. Toss together until well mixed. Cook over a low heat for a further 2 minutes, then serve.
