Best Pineapple And Bacon Recipes

BACON WRAPPED PINEAPPLE AND WATER CHESTNUTS

Steps:

• Stir the water chestnuts together with the garlic powder and soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Drain the water chestnuts, discarding the soy sauce. Place a pineapple chunk in the center of each piece of bacon, then place a water chestnut on top of that. Fold the ends of the bacon over the water chestnut, and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining bacon, pineapple, and water chestnuts. Gently toss the bacon-wrapped chestnuts with brown sugar in a bowl, then place onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then turn the pieces over, and continue baking 15 to 35 minutes longer until the bacon has cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Briefly drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and serve hot.

THE MAURO FAMILY BACON AND PINEAPPLE PAN PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the water, yeast and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and let it bloom until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, salt and 1 tablespoon corn oil and mix on medium-low for 5 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy oven-safe skillet and paint it with a brush all over and up the sides. Place the dough in the center of the skillet and cover in plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in size, for up to 2 hours.
• For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Arrange the bacon slices on the lined sheet tray and bake until slightly crisp but still soft in the middle, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool, then cut into 1-inch strips. Set aside until ready to use.
• Turn the oven up to 500 degrees F.
• Press the dough down lightly in the skillet until it reaches the edge. (If the dough is being temperamental and not stretching, cover with plastic wrap and let it chill out for 10 minutes to let the dough relax, then press it to the edge.) Ladle a layer of sauce on the dough and evenly spread to the edge. Now it's cheese-shingling time! Start around the edge, letting the cheese go up the inside wall of the skillet and then covering the middle so there is one even layer of cheese on the pizza. Top with an even sprinkling of pineapple and bacon.
• Bake the pizza until both the cheese crust around the edge is golden brown and the toppings are nicely charred and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes. I like using a fish spatula to gently and carefully lift a portion of the crust to peek underneath and see if it is getting super golden brown. You may need to move the skillet to the top rack or bottom rack depending on whether the top or bottom crust chars first. Let the pizza cool for 10 minutes. Slice and serve!

GRILLED PIZZAS WITH CANADIAN BACON AND PINEAPPLE

Steps:

Top with a thin layer of cheese and some of the pineapple and bacon. Grill until cheese is just melted, toppings are hot, and crust is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Slide pizza with a large spatula onto a cutting board. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange mint on top. Drizzle with oil. Repeat to make more pizzas.

• For a gas or charcoal grill, grill shrimp in a grill basket set on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until opaque, turning once. Toss shrimp with remaining sauce.

TUNA MEDALLIONS WITH BACON VINAIGRETTE, PINEAPPLE SAUCE, AND FRESH WASABI

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND BACON BLUE CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Cook bacon, crumble and set aside. Heat your grill (or indoor grill pan which is what I use). Grill bread slices on both sides and set aside.
• Grill 6 slices of drained pineapple on both sides (save the liquid) and set aside. When the slices are cooled, finely chop 4 of the rings, and set those aside - they'll be going into the cheese mixture.
• In medium-size bowl combine the Neufchatel and blue cheese. I use a flexible spatula to do this. Add pineapple juice (from sliced canned pineapple) and Worcestershire sauce. Now add the scallions, celery, raisins (or cranberries), crumbled bacon, and chopped pineapple.
• To plate, place a heaping tablespoon of cheese mixture on grilled bread. For a fun garnish, cut the remaining 2 slices of grilled pineapple into 4 pieces so they look like little fans. Place 1 "fan" atop each bruschetta, then add a sprig or two of parsley or mint.
