Spicy Pineapple Fritters

Submitted by Rita1652

"These are savory fritters filled with pineapples, habanaro, chives, garlic, turmeric and are very addictive. Serve as an appetizer, top some grilled meats, seafood or a side to a salad. Diced red pepper mix along the pineapple would be very good in this as well."

Thank you for sharing this tasty dish with us Miss Rita. I enjoyed the spicy pineapple fritters for lunch today. I will be having the rest tonight with dinner, my dh is going to love these. Made for ZWT7 for Witchin Kitchen.

We enjoyed the flavor of these fritters. I should have used a deep-fryer, but I used a cast iron skillet. I think I needed deeper oil for mine were more like 'cakes'. (i.e. pan-, cornbread-) I reduced the recipe to 2 servings and used a whole habanero, including a few seeds. These made a nice side dish for recipe#458070. I will try to think of a 'sauce' or 'dip', to go with these, so they could be a 'stand alone' appy! Thanks for sharing a delish recipe, Rita~!

What a terrific and easy recipe! Made our 4th of July get together. I did use jalepano instead of habanero. My family can take some spice, but not that much.

Both my DH and I did not care for these hot or even warm but once they hit room temp WOW super yummy. I did find the batter thin and after the first fritter ( for testing) I added almost another 1/4 cup of flour. Next time I am adding more habnero LOL This was served as a side for a Caribbean meal along with recipe3373817#373817 and recipe#170738#170738 Made for ZWT 5 for tram zaar chow hounds
