Warm, Tropical Pineapple Carpaccio with Honey & Ginger Sauce

When the weather isn’t playing ball, sometimes the only way to inject some sunshine into your day is with your food.  A taste of the tropics is always a good way to start your morning so bring a bit of the Caribbean to your kitchen with this delicious tropical Pineapple Carpaccio.

It’s got all the flavours of your last sunny holiday with pineapple, coconut, honey and ginger and the bonus is that it’s warming too for those colder mornings!  Making this took me back to my honeymoon in Zanzibar for a few minutes this morning – magical!Warm Tropical Pineapple Carpaccio with Honey & Ginger Sauce with Yoghurt & Mint

So how to make the recipe?  Start by heating the water and honey together in a frying pan on a high heat until it begins to bubble.  Next, you need to peel and grate the fresh ginger.  Add the ginger to the pan and turn the heat down slightly but keep cooking so that the mixture reduces by half to make a syrup.Honey & Ginger Syrup

 

Meanwhile, remove the outer skin and thinly slice the pineapple into rounds, as thin as you can. Add the pineapple slices to the honey-ginger syrup and cook for about three minutes on each side.

While the pineapple slices are cooking, toast the coconut chips over a medium heat until they start to brown.

To serve, arrange the pineapple carpaccio slices on a plate and drizzle the rest of the sauce over the top.  Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top as well as a few mint leaves.  I like to serve mine with some yoghurt and more fresh mint as I tend to eat it for breakfast.  You could also use it to top porridge for a more filling option.

You can also serve this chilled as a delicious light, fresh, summertime dessert.  Then you could serve it with cream or ice-cream if you prefer!Warm Tropical Pineapple Carpaccio with Honey & Ginger Sauce with Yoghurt & Mint
