• You may grill the pineapple rings on the grill for about 2 minutes.
• Brush margarine on each side of buns.
• Put on the grill the last two or three minutes to toast.
• To Serve: Place one slice cheese on bun, then cooked pattie, add a spoonful of sauce on top, then romaine lettuce leaf, then one pineapple ring, top with other half of bun.
• Serve with Taro chips, Hawaiian potato chips, pastachio nuts, and fresh coconut slices if you have. Dip the coconut slices in a mixture of vanilla and evaporated milk and Splenda before serving.
• Note: I have not used fresh pineapple because there is intense natural acid. Some of the family cannot tolerate. You could substitute fresh pineapple, make sure you use some of the natural juice.
