PINEAPPLE AND RED CHILIE SALSA


It's Day Two for Grilling Sauces. Today's salsa should be paired with nice grilled pork chops. Remember when using wooden skewers soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before putting the ingredients on them and placing them on the grill. This salsa can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. This salsa is delicious and the combination of the sweet pineapple and the spice of the red chile compliment each other perfectly!!!
Ingredients:
1 small onion quartered
1/2 lb plum tomatoes halved lengthwise
4 garlic cloves peeled
1/2 lb fresh pineapple cut into 8 pieces
1 red pepper quartered
1 fresh red chile like cayenne
Place all the ingredients on the skewers and brush them with olive oil. Cook on your grill at high heat. Turn occasionally until the fruit and vegetables are charred in spots. Let cool and place ingredients in a blender or food processor.
Add:
12 mint leaves
1/4 cup water
2 tbl fresh lime juice
Puree all the ingredients until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Serve alongside nice thick grilled pork chops.
Happy Grilling!...Keep Cool!!!
ENJOY!
