Best Grilled Pineapple Rumaki Recipes

RUMAKI RECIPE - BACON WRAPPED

Steps:

• Clean/remove as much excess from the livers as possible while keeping the livers as "Large" as possible.
• Cutaway pieces that do not look like something you'd like to eat. Use a small knife and make small cuts where needed trying to keep the liver in tactic.
• Combine the soy sauce, chopped garlic, brown sugar, and chopped ginger into a large bowl.Add the livers to the marinate. Place into the refrigerator for one hour.
• Slice the bacon in half lengthwise. You do not want to use too much bacon or the cooking time will be longer. Which risks overcooking the livers or beef, or chicken.Cutting the bacon strips in half will make it easy to wrap each chicken liver tightly.
• Lay one piece of bacon flat on a cutting board. Take a slice of water chestnut and place it at one end of the bacon strip. Add a piece of liver on top of the water chestnut. Tip: Add small slices of jalapeno
• Next, roll the bacon starting at the end with the liver and roll the bacon on top of itself. No rules on how you wrap. Another option is wrapping the bacon in circles all around the liver.Secure with toothpicks
• Place the rumaki on a cookie sheet. Or, I like using a wire rack so the rumaki isn't touching the cookie sheet. It helps crisp things up nicely.Bake @ 375 for 15 to 20 minutes
• Add the glaze of choice after cooking. Use a paintbrush or spoon to cover.
• Then place the rumaki back into the oven for 3 to 5 minutes to set the glaze.

EASY (& FLAMELESS!) PINEAPPLE FOSTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together rum, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Then in a glass baking dish (or other container), lay out the pineapple rings and pour the rum mixture over them. Toss to coat, then let soak for at least 15 minutes, flipping the pineapple midway through.
• When you are ready to cook the pineapple, strain out the extra rum sauce from the pan of pineapple, and transfer it to a small saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 6-8 minutes, or until reduced by half. Set aside.
• While the sauce is cooking, heat a grill pan or saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray. Add pineapple slices in an even layer (you may need to do this in multiple batches) and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and grill marks appear. Transfer to a serving plates, and set aside. Repeat with remaining pineapple.
• Top each pineapple ring with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with rum sauce. (If desired, you can also lightly dust the pineapple with some extra cinnamon.) Serve immediately.

CHICKEN SCALLION RUMAKI AND PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and then set a rack on top. Lightly oil the rack.
• Toss the chicken and scallions with the soy sauce, sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Meanwhile, wrap each pineapple chunk in a half slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Arrange them on the rack set in the baking sheet.
• Wrap each piece of chicken and 2 pieces of scallion with the remaining bacon, securing each with a toothpick and arranging on the rack.
• Bake the chicken and pineapple rumaki until the bacon is crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve the rumaki on a platter, sprinkled with the sesame seeds.

RUMAKI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, canola oil, sesame oil, reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, black pepper, garlic and grated ginger in a bowl. Add the water chestnuts and marinate for 2 hours at room temperature.
• Cut the pineapple chunks in half and set aside. Cut the bacon strips in half and set aside. Cut the chicken livers into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.
• To assemble: Lay out a half strip of bacon. Put a slice of pineapple at one end, topped by a slice of water chestnut and a piece of chicken liver. Roll up the bacon and seal with a toothpick. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.
• Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and brush with the marinade. Bake, brushing with marinade every 10 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the livers are just cooked but still slightly pink, 35 to 40 minutes. The last 10 minutes, brush with the marinade and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Slice the pineapple into 1-inch rounds and place in a large bowl.
• Mix together the lime juice, coconut rum, agave syrup and salt in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the pineapple and gently toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
• When ready, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the grill with the olive oil and grill the pineapple for about 3 minutes per side; there should be noticeable grill marks, but it should still be firm in texture. Remove to a serving platter.
• For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream, agave syrup and the reserved lime zest. Whip until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve: Top the grilled pineapple with generous mounds of the whipped cream, scatter over mint leaves and drizzle with agave syrup.

PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Combine the french dressing and pineapple chunks in a bag to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Cut each of the bacon slices into three pieces (1 bacon slice=3 small stripes of bacon).
• Preheat your oven to broil and set for 350 degrees.
• After the 15 minutes are up, take the pineapple chunks and wrap them with the bacon and put a wooden toothpick through the bacon and the pineapple to secure the rumaki together.
• Take a baking sheet and put the rumaki onto the baking sheet.
• Broil one side of the rumaki until it looks done, which should be around 6-8 minutes depending on how hot your oven is (if you want the rumaki to be crisper, leave it under the broil for a little longer).
• After the one side of the rumaki is cooked, take the baking sheet out. Grab the toothpick and flip the rumaki to the other side, which is not cooked. (Be careful as the baking sheet will be hot.).
• Put the baking sheet in the oven again. Broil for another 6-8 minutes.
• Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
• Now get ready to serve the rumaki.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a nonreactive bowl.
• Add pineapple and stir.
• Let marinate 1 hour.
• Drain marinade and strain into a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cook until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Wrap each pineapple piece with an herb sprig and a piece of bacon.

• Can be prepared several hours ahead up to this point.
• Set up grill for three-zone grilling and preheat (see intro for instructions).
• Brush and oil the grill grate.
• If using skewers, fold a length of aluminum foil in half lengthwise and place on grate on the edge closest to you, so that it covers all three heat zones. (You will not need the foil if using toothpicks; it's to keep the ends of the skewers from burning.).
• Place rumaki on hot zone. If using skewers, make sure the ends are on top of the foil shield. Do this in batches if necessary.
• Grill until bacon is crisp, 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade syrup.
• Move to medium or cool zone if the bacon fat causes flareups.
• Serve drizzled with any remaining glaze.
• If using toothpicks, be sure to take them out!

Boil for 2-3 mins until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from the heat. Stir in the spices. Mix the crème fraîche with the lime zest and juice in a separate bowl.
• Arrange the coals on one side of the barbecue and light (or see tip below for cooking indoors). When the flames have died down and the coals are ashen, lay the pineapple wedges over the coals. Cook for 2-3 mins until char marks appear, then turn over.
• Brush the pineapple wedges with the rum syrup and cook for 10 mins more, moving them around the grill using tongs so they don't burn. When ready, they will be golden and soft. Remove from the barbecue, sprinkle with the chilli, if using, and serve with the lime crème fraîche.

• In and offset firebox smoker, they'll be done in around 2 hours at 250 degrees F. If you're doing them on a charcoal grill, they need to be watched and turned so nothing burns.
• A year or so ago I served these to a bunch of folks at a large gathering. I had underestimated the number of folks who would show up for supper. Even so, I figured one or two per person would be enough. I was wrong. They were all devoured, leaving none for Linda and I! And, I got requests to do it again next time.
• Fine results for such a simple thing.
