It’s going to be 35 degrees C here today. It’s days like these that I’m grateful we have a BBQ so we can cook outside and not have to heat up the inside of the house by turning on the oven. I love recipes that creatively use the BBQ to cook other things (in addition to meat), like this simple BBQ pineapple. What a gorgeous (healthy) dessert for a hot summer’s day…

Ingredients:
Serves 4
- 1 pineapple
- 2 cups Greek style yoghurt
- 4 tbsp. crushed macadamias
Method:
1. Cut the pineapple lengthways into eighths.
2. Grill on the BBQ for a few minutes on each cut side of the fruit until you see nice caramelised grill marks.
3. Serve each quarter with a small bowl of Greek yoghurt topped with the crushed macadamias.
Tip:
No, don’t peel it. It looks divine with the skin still on. After cooking, just run a knife between the skin and flesh and cut into segments, but serve this dish intact, on the skin.
