Directions
For the Beef Koftas:

- Place the pineapple quarters on a griddle pan with 10 ml (2 tsp) of oil and brush with the honey. Cook both sides until you start to see the griddle marks on the pineapple.
- Place all the ingredients together in a medium sized mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
