Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
- Wooden skewers
- Optional: chili flakes, honey, or fresh herbs for garnish
Preparing the Coconut Curry Aioli
Start by combining mayonnaise, coconut milk, curry powder, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Adjust the seasoning by adding chili flakes for heat or honey for sweetness. Chill the aioli in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Grilling the Pineapple Skewers
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread pineapple chunks onto wooden skewers, ensuring even spacing. Grill the skewers for about 2-3 minutes per side until they develop nice grill marks and caramelization. Be careful not to overcook, as pineapple can become mushy.
Serving Suggestions
Arrange the grilled pineapple skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle with the Coconut Curry Aioli or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for added freshness. This dish pairs well with grilled meats, seafood, or as a vegetarian appetizer.
Tips for Success
- Use ripe pineapple for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Feel free to customize the aioli with additional spices or herbs.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
