This chilli pineapple will be the best side dish at your next braai gathering! A classic favourite amongst our Durbanites, chilli pineapple or grilled masala pineapple – the perfect combination for a refreshing snack in the summer sunshine. They also make a great appetiser before a braai or on a snack platter. The grilled pineapple offers a smoky sweet sensation, and masala gives it that delicious spicy hit. If the chilli is a bit hot, you can dip these in a yoghurt dip with a squeeze of lime.
You can grill the pineapple, or enjoy it as fresh pieces with chilli flakes. If you can’t get skewer sticks, simply use braai tongs and serve in a dish.

Ingredients
8 skewer sticks
1 large pineapple
60 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
7.5 ml (1/2 Tbsp) masala spice (or chilli flakes)
5 ml (1 tsp) paprika
5 ml (1 tsp) curry powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Soak your skewers in water for 10 – 15 minutes to ensure they do not burn.
Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple and remove the skin, then cut in half lengthways.
Cut each half into 4 wedges and secure the skewers in place, set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and spices and mix well.
Prepare your coals in the braai until medium heat. Place the pineapple on the grid over the heat and brush with the oil and spice mixture.
Braai for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and has grid marks. Alternatively, you can cook them on a griddle pan over medium heat for the same amount of time.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with a fresh herb oil and enjoy.
