| 1. Peel, core and cube the pineapple. | 2. Peel the ginger and grate into the pineapple. Discard the fibrous bits. | 3. Add the chopped chilli. | 4. Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight. | 5. Bring to room temperature to serve. Cold destroys the flavour so this is an important step. | 6. Variations:. | 7. Add kirsch or a liqueur of your choice. | 8. Substitute 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped mint for the chilli. | 9. =========================================. | 10. Directions for chopping up pineapple:. | 11. Chop the leaves off the top and take a slice off the bottom of the pineapple so that it can stand up. | 12. Slice off the skin starting at the top and taking 1 inch wide slices to the bottom. This will leave the flower buds (the spiky brown bits) but not remove too much of the sweetest flesh which is near the skin. | 13. Lay the pineapple on its side and you will notice that the flower buds are in a spiral pattern around the pineapple. | 14. Cut out the buds with a v-groove, following the diagonal pattern of the buds. Make a shallow cut one side and then complete the v-groove by cutting the other side. A flick with the knife will remove the buds without too much of the flesh. | 15. Once all the buds have been cut out, slice the pineapple into 1-2cm slices. | 16. Take a slice and, holding it over a bowl to catch all the juice, make two cuts into the slice from the edge to the core, about 1-2cm apart. | 17. Snap out the wedge from the core. It will break naturally at the edge of the tough bit, a bit like snapping the ends off asparagus. | 18. Continue cutting wedges and snapping them from the core until all you are left with is the core. The cook gets to suck on the cores! | 19. Repeat for the other slices. | 20. All the pineapple in the bowl will be succulent, juicy and ready to pop in your mouth – or your lover’s mouth, if this a romantic dinner for two. ;). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
