Pineapple takes particularly well to being grilled, with blistery char marks playing nicely against the fruit’s bright, acidic flavor. Balance that with a swoosh of cold lime yogurt, a flurry of fresh cilantro, and honey spiked with black pepper for a fresh, easy dessert.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4–6 servings

Ingredients

1 large pineapple, peeled, sliced lengthwise into 4 planks
Zest and juice of 2 limes
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
Kosher salt
8 oz. honey
1 Tbsp. (heaping) coarsely ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
Cilantro sprigs (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Grill 1 large pineapple, peeled, sliced lengthwise into 4 planks, until well charred, 5–7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; cut out and discard core. Coarsely chop pineapple.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, whisk together zest and juice of 2 limes, 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, and a big pinch of kosher salt.

    Step 3

    Heat 8 oz. honey, 1 Tbsp. (heaping) coarsely ground black pepper, and 1 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar in a small saucepan over low, stirring occasionally, just until runny and heated through, about 3 minutes.

    Step 4

    To serve, spread lime yogurt on plates and shingle pineapple over. Drizzle with pepper honey and top with cilantro sprigs.
