Broiled Pineapple With Macadamia Crunch Recipes

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH LEMONGRASS CHIBOOST

Steps:

• Roasted Pineapple:
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the seeded vanilla bean. Add the granulated and the light brown sugar, stirring continuously. Add the diced pineapple. Cook the mixture until the pineapple is translucent, about 10 to 20 minutes.
• Lemongrass Pastry Cream:
• Pour the milk in a large pot on high heat. Clean and slice the lemongrass and add to the milk and bring to a boil. Turn off heat. Let steep for 1 hour. Add seeded vanilla bean. Bring to a boil again. Take out the vanilla bean and strain the mixture through a sieve into a mixing bowl. Combine sugar, pastry flour and yolks and temper by adding in the hot liquid slowly. This mixture will form a stiff pastry cream. Whisk rapidly over low flame for 1 minute. Put mixture in a blender. Blend out lumps.
• Italian Meringue:
• Heat the sugar (123 degrees C) to soft-ball stage. Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form and then pour in the hot sugar. Continue whipping the mixture together until stiff peaks form. Fold the Italian Meringue into the lemongrass pastry cream. Pipe the mixture into round flexible molds. Freeze the molds overnight. Take the molds out of the freezer 3 hours before serving. Once the cream begins to thaw, turn the mold upside down and remove the formed cream onto the center of a plate.
• Garnish the plate with the roasted pineapple mixture. For added presentation, sprinkle sugar on top and torch.

BROILED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM CARAMEL AND MACADAMIA TOFFEE

Steps:

• For macadamia toffee:
• Line baking sheet with foil. Place sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup is pale golden color, occasionally brushing down pan sides with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 6 minutes. Stir in nuts and cook until caramel is deep amber, swirling pan occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour onto prepared baking sheet. Cool completely. Peel macadamia brittle from foil. Transfer to work surface. Chop coarsely.
• For broiled pineapple:
• Preheat broiler. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange pineapple slices in single layer on prepared sheet; sprinkle brown sugar over. Broil until sugar bubbles and turns amber, watching closely to avoid burning, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pineapple from broiler.
• For rum caramel:
• Bring brown sugar, rum, butter, and vanilla to boil in heavy small saucepan. Stir until sugar dissolves. Boil without stirring until mixture is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
