preparation
➊ 2 hours before grilling, peel the pineapple and remove the core, cut one half of the pineapple into slices and place in the refrigerator.
➋ Cut the other half into small pieces and puree in a blender. Mix with the remaining ingredients and refrigerate to infuse.
➌ Prepare the grill and heat the salt stone to about 200 °C.
Grill the pineapple slices on the salt plank for about 2 minutes and then turn.
➍ Cover each slice with the pineapple puree and grill for another 3 minutes. Then serve immediately.
Note: This recipe is perfect for anyone who loves the combination of contrasting flavors and a strong salty note, as the pineapple juice is not gentle with the salt plank during grilling. Combined with white, unseasoned rice, it is balanced again; the bravest can try the seasoned steak with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. But if you want to eat low-salt, you should simply try this recipe on the grill.
