Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pineapple:
- Cut pineapples in half lengthwise, leaving the top with leaves attached if you wish to serve it in the pineapple shell.
- Carefully remove most of the pineapple from the halves, ideally in one piece, using a paring knife and a grapefruit knife.
- Cut the pineapple inside piece in half lengthwise and remove the core. Further cut it in half lengthwise again and then slice each piece into 2. This should yield about 8 long slices from each pineapple.
-
Create the Flavorful Sugar Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar with cinnamon and nutmeg to create a flavorful sugar mixture.
- Toss half of this mixture with the pineapple slices, ensuring an even coating.
-
Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel the bananas just before cooking.
- Cut them in half both crosswise and lengthwise.
- Toss the banana pieces with the remaining sugar mixture for a sweet and aromatic touch.
-
Grill or Broil to Perfection:
- Barbecue the pineapple slices or broil them until they are beautifully browned and partially cooked. This should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cook the banana pieces on the grill until they achieve a tempting brown color, approximately 5 minutes.
-
Assemble the Tropical Dessert:
- Serve the grilled “sticks” of pineapple and bananas in the pineapple shells for an appealing presentation.
- Top each serving with a generous scoop of mango sorbet, creating a refreshing contrast to the grilled fruits.
- Note: If you prefer not to serve it in the pineapple shells, you can buy pre-peeled and cored pineapples. Simply cut them into rounds or sticks for an alternative presentation.
