Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe pineapple, skin removed
  • ¼ tsp demerara sugar
  • 60ml coconut cream (warmed slightly to loosen, if necessary)

Chilli mint drizzle

  • 1 tsp Ottolenghi Aleppo & Other Chillis Blend, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 40g demerara sugar
  • ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
  • 2 unwaxed limes, zest and juice
  • 4 tsp olive oil
  • ½ x 25g pack mint, leaves picked, plus extra to serve

Method

  1. Cut the pineapple in quarters lengthways; remove the core. Slice into 0.75cm-thick slices widthways, then put in a medium bowl. Add a pinch of sea salt flakes and the ¼ tsp sugar, mix well, then chill until needed.

  2. To make the chilli mint drizzle, put all the ingredients in a pestle and mortar or in the bowl of a small food processor, then pound or pulse until it becomes a smooth paste and set aside.

  3. To assemble, arrange the pineapple on a platter, then tuck mint leaves between the slices. Drizzle over ½ the coconut cream, followed by ¾ of the mint drizzle. Scatter over a pinch of the chilli blend and serve with the remaining coconut cream and mint drizzle on the side.
