#580: Grilled Pineapple with Lime and Coconut


I've been dying to make this recipe and just needed an excuse to make it.  Today was my excuse. :)  I LOVED this recipe.  The pineapple was DELICIOUS.  I loved the combination of the lime juice and the coconut.  Definitely, definitely making this again...soon.

1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Zest and juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

Place coconut in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until coconut is golden and lightly toasted. Transfer to a bowl.

Preheat grill to medium. In a small bowl, combine lime juice and sugar.  Oil grill. Put pineapple wedges on grill and cook, turning once, until softened and browned in spots, 7 to 8 minutes total. Transfer pineapple to a dish and dot with lime juice mixture.

Just before serving, arrange pineapple on a platter and sprinkle with lime zest and toasted coconut.
