GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH SWEET LIME- BLACK PEPPER SAUCE



Grilled Pineapple With Sweet Lime- Black Pepper Sauce image

Grilling does wonderful things to fresh pineapple, so if you have never tried it, you must! I love the flavor contrasts in this recipe, which was adapted from License to Grill. The original recipe called for 'a small handful of black peppercorns (about 20)', which I find inconsistent. I have always just 'eyeballed' it and the measure given is just a guess, so please adjust according to your own tolerance for black pepper. Don't be afraid of using it with the pineapple, though, because it does compliment it nicely. This dish holds up well, so it's easy to serve to a crowd.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 -2 teaspoon black peppercorns, finely crushed
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 teaspoon dried mint
2 pineapple, peeled and cut into 1-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup roughly chopped of fresh mint

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine pepper, corn syrup, lime juice, and dried mint; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes or until just warm.
  • Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, place the pineapple slices on the grill over a medium fire and cook until lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side; brush with the lime-pepper sauce during the last 30 seconds of cooking, then remove from grill.
  • Stir the fresh mint into the remaining sauce and serve 2 slices of pineapple per person, topped with several tablespoons of the sauce.

SWEET POTATO TOTS WITH CILANTRO-LIME SAUCE RECIPE - (4.8/5)



Sweet Potato Tots with Cilantro-Lime Sauce Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by davidv

Number Of Ingredients 17

Sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, rough chopped
1/2 of a jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1 scallion, minced
1 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp sugar
3-1/2 tsp salt, divided
3/4 tsp black pepper, divided
Tots:
2 medium-size sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in large pieces
1/4 cup flour, plus additional for rolling
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp chili powder
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 egg whites, beaten
Oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Combine the sour cream, cilantro, jalapeño, scallion, lime juice, sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Place the sweet potatoes in a medium-size saucepan. Cover with cool water and add 2 tsp salt. Bring the potatoes up to a boil over medium heat. Pierce the potatoes with a fork every 5-10 minutes until they feel slightly undercooked. Then, drain the water and let the potatoes cool in the pot. Meanwhile, combine the flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, cornstarch, and the chili powder in a large bowl and set aside. When the sweet potatoes have cooled, mash 1 piece of sweet potato and set it aside. Finely dice the rest of the potatoes. Carefully fold the mashed and diced sweet potatoes into the flour. The mixture should form a dough-like consistency when blended. Cut the sweet potato dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out 1 half of the dough into a 13-14" log that's about an inch in diameter. Repeat with remaining dough. Slice each log into small 1" x 1" logs. Preheat a deep fryer to 375°F. Place the egg whites and breadcrumbs in two small shallow dishes. Roll each tater tot in the egg whites and then dredge in the breadcrumbs. Place the tots on baking sheets that have been lined with a couple layers of paper towels. Fry the tater tots in batches of 6 until they're a deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve with the dipping sauce.

CHICKEN WITH SCALLION-LIME SAUCE AND SWEET CARROT RICE



Chicken with Scallion-Lime Sauce and Sweet Carrot Rice image

Categories     Sauce     Chicken     Rice     Side     Lime     Carrot     Simmer     Boil

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
3 large carrots, peeled and grated
Salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups white rice
3 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/3 palmful
Zest and juice of 2 limes
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (eyeball it)
1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/3 palmful
3 bunches of scallions, about 15, roots trimmed, sliced
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, a generous handful, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Heat a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan. Add the grated carrots and a little salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the rice and stir to coat in the oil and distribute the carrots. Add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock. Bring the stock to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the rice is tender.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating up, combine 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, the thyme, lime zest, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Add the chicken breasts and coat thoroughly in the mixture. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Return the skillet to the heat; add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and coriander. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, then add the scallions and cook for 1 minute, again stirring constantly. Add the lime juice and the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock and continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Turn the heat off and add the parsley and butter, stirring and shaking the pan until the butter is completely melted.
  • To serve, slice the chicken on a slight angle. Divide the rice among 4 serving plates and top each pile of rice with a sliced chicken breast. Pour some scallion-lime sauce over each chicken breast.

SWEET POTATO TART WITH CHILI LIME CILANTRO SAUCE



Sweet Potato Tart with Chili Lime Cilantro Sauce image

Different baking pans result in different textures from the same recipe! I love the versatility of this recipe. Choose a dense, chewy tart or one that is more like a creamy custard - your choice- both delicious! The sweetness of the Canadian Bacon and sauteed onions with the smoky spices enhance the surprising flavor of the...

Provided by Jackie Mento

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 19

TART
4 Tbsp canadian bacon, after sauteeing
4 Tbsp red onion, after sauteeing
2-3 Tbsp butter for sauteeing and to grease pans
4 1/2 c sweet potatos, grated
4 eggs
1/2 c corn starch
4 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c evaporated milk
1/2 tsp smoked hickory salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp pepper, freshly grated
1 pinch nutmeg, freshly grated
CHILI LIME CILANTRO SAUCE
4 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 c olive oil, very lightly flavored, not heavy tasting
6 Tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small pan, using some butter, saute the Canadian bacon, transfer to a small bowl and set aside. In the same pan, saute the red onion and set aside. Grate enough sweet potatoes to make 4 1/2 cups. I like to use the food processor to do this.
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the cornstarch, sugar, evaporated milk, smoked hickory salt, smoked paprika, pepper and nutmeg. Mix until well blended. Now add the grated sweet potatoes and stir gently together.
  • 3. Now decide which baking dishes you plan to use and use the remainder of the butter to cover the bottom and sides of each. NOTE: You can get 4 portions in 12 oz baking dishes. I bake them in 4 of the single serve 5 inch Lodge Wonder Skillets to get the dense chewy texture. Or for a creamy custard texture I use 4 of the 1 1/2 cup (12 oz) souffle baking dish. Or you can bake the entire recipe in a 8 inch square pan. I like to bake 2 portions in the Lodge skillet and 2 portions in the souffle dish - that way I have some of each! Have some fun and cook them in different baking dishes and see how you will get different textures.
  • 4. Lift the potatoes from the liquid and evenly divide them into the 4 baking dishes. Pour the liquid in the bowl evenly in the 4 dishes. Top each with an equal portion of the onions and Canadian bacon. Here are 2 before baking.
  • 5. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, until the potatoes are done.
  • 6. While the tarts are baking, make the Chile Lime Cilantro sauce by blending the lime juice, chile powder, and cumin. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking. When fully blended add the fresh cilantro. Please note that the cilantro does turn darker and will not look as fresh the next day so it is best made and served the same day. When the tarts are removed from the oven, drizzle some of the Chili Lime Sauce on them and serve immediately!
  • 7. Happy Cooking and please ENJOY my new recipe!

SWEET LIME SAUCE



Sweet Lime Sauce image

Recipe found on About.com by Darlene Schmidt. I thought this sounded good after replying to anothers' request for a sauce to serve with roasted chicken that wasn't a gravy. Double this recipe for 1 whole chicken.

Provided by CindiJ

Time 15m

Yield 1 cup sauce, approx.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup water
1/2 lime, juice of
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon galangal (minced or grated) or 1 teaspoon ginger (minced or grated)
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon arrowroot or 1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, add all sauce ingredients except arrowroot powder (or cornstarch). Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
  • Taste test for sweetness and saltiness, adding more honey if not sweet enough, or more fish sauce (instead of salt) as desired. If you prefer a spicy sauce, add some fresh chilli or chilli sauce.
  • Add the arrowroot or cornstarch powder dissolved in the water. Stir and continue to simmer until sauce thickens. (If it becomes too thick to your liking, add more lime juice and water.).
  • Serve the roasted chicken on a platter, either whole or chopped into pieces. Drizzle some of the sauce overtop, then pour the rest around the outside of chicken, or serve it on the side. Garnish with lime slices or wedges, and fresh sprigs of coriander. Serve with plenty of Thai jasmine-scented rice (or potatoes if you prefer), and enjoy!
