Chili Pineapple
"Chili, salt and pineapple is just one of those weird food combinations that really works. The chef who introduced me to this idea, Lindsey Bareham, recommends serving this recipe with drinks before dinner. To really make the dish shine you need to have a chilli with a bit of kick in it, although it doesn't have be one of the really firey ones like a habanero or bird's eye."

I am giving this five stars, because it is so different and really does work. had husband, 2 girlfriends and a 10 year old over this afternoon, and asked them to be testers. I sliced the chili very finely, and salted lightly, and it is incredible how the 3 flavors meld. I live in a place where pineapple is a common fruit, and I have always found them a little too sweet, but this takes the edge off. the chili I used was very hot, and we all took a mouthfull, chewed like crazy, and them had a drink :), but everyone agreed it was great, and we would do it again!!!! -
I love this combination, and it has become a go-to snack for me. I used to eat fresh mango with chili quite often, but this is even better. Thanks! -
Wow, this is wonderful. It's amazing how the different flavours meld! Used fresh red jalapenos and Maldon salt. Thank you for a great recipe, Sackville! -
Yum!i'v tried pineapple & chillies before and they taste great!u can add red chilli powder as well! -
I'm not a big pineapple fan but this is a very nice way of eating pineapple. My pineapple wasn't that sweet but it still worked out okay. Definitely worth a try!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
