Poached Chilli Pineapple

{{{message}}}

1 medium fresh pineapple, skinned and sliced in 1cm slices

200ml cold water

250g granulated sugar

1 tsp finely chopped chilli

2 tsp salted butter

A pinch of coarse ground black pepper

Aldi Vanilla Fromage Frais

Place the slices of pineapple onto a chopping board.

Then, using a small pastry cutter or knife, remove the tough centre core of the slice.

Place the water, chilli and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, cook for 1 minute.

Remove from the stove and leave to infuse and cool.

Place a large non-stick frying pan on the stove and melt the butter to the point where it starts foaming and is about to turn light brown.

Dust the pineapple with a little black pepper.

Pop the seasoned pineapple slices into the pan and brown them on both sides, this should only take a few minutes.

Once the pineapples are slightly brown add the chilli syrup and bring to the boil.

The butter will slightly thicken the syrup.

Cook for 1 minute to warm through.

Then carefully spoon onto warm plates or bowls.

Add a little syrup and top with a large spoon of Aldi Vanilla Fromage Frais.
