STIR-FRIED PINEAPPLE WITH GINGER

This is an interesting accompaniment to grilled meat or strongly flavoured fish such as tuna or swordfish. If the idea seems strange, think of it as resembling fresh mango chutney, but with pineapple as the principal ingredient.

Preparation Method :

Trim and peel the pineapple. Cut out the core and dice the flesh into small pieces.
Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Stir-fry the garlic and shallots over medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes, until golden. Do not let the garlic burn or the dish will taste bitter.
Add the pineapple. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until the pineapple cubes start to turn golden on the edges.
Add the ginger, soy sauce, limejuice, and shredded chilli.
Toss the mixture together until well mixed. Cook over a low heat for a further 2 minutes.
Serve the pineapple as an accompaniment.
