Grilled Pineapple with nutty yogurt

Lots of  pineapples in the market these days. Recently when I was in the supermarket, I saw the guy there cleaning the pineapples and arranging them in boxes ready to use.  Normally  I hate cleaning the pineapple as it’s a task to clean the thick skin and eyes. Hence when I saw  some cleaned and ready to eat pineapples  and nothing stopped me picking up a  box.

A pineapple  is ripe to eat when a leaf is easily pulled  from the top. The bromelain in pineapples is an effective meat tenderizer – use a few spoonful of juice and add to meat stews and curried . A special compound found within pineapples can help ease the pain of arthritis and may help to prevent strokes.

This is a nice warm dessert you can enjoy with this  nutty dip
