Broiled Pineapple with Ginger and Basil
Serves 4 to 6
Time 30 min
Broiling or grilling slices of pineapple caramelizes the natural sugars in the fruit, and when tossed with fresh herbs and ginger becomes a sweet dessert treat. Serve with your favorite sorbet or nice cream for a hot-and-cold dessert with tropical flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 whole pineapple
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh Thai basil, regular basil or mint
