Ingredients

  • One whole pineapple sliced (see post for instructions)
  • Coconut oil

Butter rum sauce

  • 1 can of coconut milk 400ml
  • ¼ cup of dairy free butter
  • ¼ cup of Coconut sugar agave, maple syrup works too
  • ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of Rum essence/flavouring or rum if you wish

Instructions

  • Prepare the sauce first by adding all of the ingredients for the butter rum sauce to a medium sized saucepan excluding the rum/flavouring.
  • Bring the saucepan to the boil while stirring, once the liquid starts to bubble and rise reduce the heat to medium/low and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • During the 20 minutes keep stirring as the sauce darkens and thickens (Do not leave it unattended)
  • Stir in the rum/flavouring just before the saucepan is removed from the stove and set aside to cool.
  • Now move onto grilling the pineapple
  • Preheat the grill and coat with the coconut oil
  • Grill the pineapple pieces (you may need to work in batches) until charred marks are formed (3-5 minutes per side).
  • If using an Optigrill pre heat and use when the light indicates, coat the griddle with oil, grill the pineapple until the device beeps to alert readiness. Turn the pineapple over half way for even charred marks.
  • Serve with butter rum sauce or alone

Notes

  • The butter rum sauce is optional. skip and grill the pineapple by itself if worried about extra calories.
  • Rum flavouring. I use rum essence/flavouring as an alcohol free alternative. If you consume alcohol then simply use the real deal in place of essence. Rum flavouring is just a personal preference since I don't consume alcohol. 
  • Refrigerate any leftover pineapple.
  • Ct the pineapple into rings instead of slices
  • Store bought canned pineapple also works for this recipe
  • Prepare the rum sauce the night before to save some time
  • Use the excess peel to make iced tea
