Grilled Pineapple Wrapped in an Interwoven Lattice of Bacon

Grilled pineapple wrapped in an interwoven lattice of bacon is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. The pineapple becomes caramelized and juicy, while the bacon lattice adds a smoky, crispy contrast. Using the Arteflame grill, this dish achieves a perfect balance of textures and tastes.

Ingredients

  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
  • 12-15 slices of bacon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

Preparing the Grill

  1. Fire Up the Grill: Start by firing up your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. Allow the flat cooktop to reach a medium-high heat.

Preparing the Pineapple

  1. Weave the Bacon: Lay out the bacon slices on a flat surface, creating a woven lattice. Overlap the slices to form a tight weave.
  2. Wrap the Pineapple: Carefully wrap the bacon lattice around the peeled and cored pineapple. Secure the ends with toothpicks.
  3. Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Grilling the Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple

  1. Grill the Pineapple: Place the bacon-wrapped pineapple on the flat cooktop. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the pineapple is caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
  2. Apply the Glaze: In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the honey glaze over the bacon-wrapped pineapple. Allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Serving

  1. Serve Hot: Remove the pineapple from the grill and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with extra honey glaze on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Tips

  • Ensure Even Weaving: Make sure the bacon weave is tight to prevent gaps.
  • Monitor the Bacon: Bacon can cook quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
  • Alternative Glaze: For a different flavor, try using maple syrup or balsamic reduction instead of the brown sugar and honey glaze.

Conclusion

Grilled pineapple wrapped in an interwoven lattice of bacon is a visually stunning and delicious dish that will impress your guests. The sweet and smoky flavors complement each other perfectly, making it an ideal appetizer or side dish.

Variations

  1. Spicy Bacon-Pineapple Lattice: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze for a spicy kick.
  2. Cheese-Stuffed Pineapple: Add a layer of cream cheese or goat cheese inside the pineapple before wrapping with bacon.
  3. Tropical Fruit Mix: Mix in other grilled fruits like mango or papaya with the pineapple.
  4. Herbed Glaze: Add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the glaze for an aromatic touch.
  5. Savory Twist: Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika and garlic powder to the bacon before weaving.

Pairings

  • Side Dishes: Serve with a fresh green salad, grilled vegetables, or rice pilaf.
  • Wine: Pair with a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or a fruity Rosé.
  • Dessert: Finish with a light dessert like coconut sorbet or a tropical fruit salad.
