The Giveway

Have you entered your name for the $100 gift certificate and the cookbook giveaway? If not, what are you waiting for? Check this post out to see how to enter.

French love their desserts, that is why they invented courses like Avant Desserts (pre-desserts) and Petits-Fours (a small cake generally eaten at the end of a meal). Normally the avant desserts are small in size, and contrast the taste of the main dessert to follow. Here is a perfect avant dessert recipe to serve before a sinful chocolate lava cake or some other form of death by chocolate. This will make a nice dessert on its own if you just need something light for that sweet tooth after a heavy meal.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups skinned, cored and diced pineapple.
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup whipped yogurt

Method

Mix the pineapple with ground ginger and sugar till the pineapple pieces are well coated.

Broil the pineapple pieces for 10 minutes.

Puree the broiled pineapple pieces with lemon juice in a food processor. Taste and adjust sugar if needed.

Freeze the puree in a shallow dish till almost frozen.

Process the frozen puree in batches until smooth in the food processer, and refrigerate.

To Serve

In a shot glass, layer chilled yogurt and pineapple puree. I like to drizzle a weeny bit of rum on top.

This is my entry for Pineapple – A Fruit A Month event hosted by Maheswari of Beyond the Usual.

Is Ginger a spice or vegetable? I’m not sure if Ginger qualifies for the A to Z of Indian Vegetables event, since the instructions specifically says, use a vegetable, and I think of ginger as predominantly a spice. But if I use Ginger as the main ingredient in a dish,  it could be considered a vegetable, [...]

Tapioca known as Cassava or Yuka (Kappa in Malayalam) is one of the staples in Kerala. Normally, “kappa vevichadu” is a preparation of tapioca boiled and mashed with ground coconut and spice mixture. This is normally served with fish curry or meat curry. This used to be a poor man’s meal, but now a days [...]

Chicken Masala is such a generic term, I know. But not sure what else to call this dish, and to make matters worse, I make at least 5 different types of chicken masalas, so will have to just call these CM1, CM2 etc. I made CM1 as a side for Mutton Biryani today. Well, I don’t get the [...]

  10. Pravs says:

    Great looking sorbet. I have a question. How is processing done or what does it mean, when you say process it.

  11. Sig says:

    Pravs, sorry I wasn’t clear, I tend to do it with recipes I am so used to :-) . What I meant was process in the food processor again, it is the common technique used for making sorbet without an ice-cream maker. Puree the ingredients, quick freeze partially and puree the frozen mix again.

  12. Sig says:

    sushma, thanks.. I was experimenting with ginger in pineapple, and it came out great.

    Nandita, a little bit of rum makes everything taste better.

    Freya, thanks.. roasting the pineapple really brings out the sweetness.

    Supriya, thanks, give it a try :)

    Asha, I couldn’t slurp it, it was too cold, gives a brain freeze…

    Mahesh, thanks for hosting the wonderful event.

    Sharmi, let me know how he likes it.

    Swapna, thanks, it is a small tequila glass, though I realized later that I should have kept something next to it to show the scale, it looks like a regular size glass now. :-(

    Richa, thanks!

  16. Meeta says:

    Are you kidding me? Pineapple, rum and sorbet all part of one recipe. I need one right now! I think we need to get together and have a few of these! Thanks for the recipe!

  17. Archana says:

    Hi Sig
    I got here from Mahanandi or Dininghall but I love this recipe because its so simple and yummy tasting.

    My baby daughter loves pineapple and I think the babies would love this sorbet sans rum of course! Especially since they are teething!

    I on the other hand will have mine with rum!

    By the way, I am a Seattlelite too and love your restaurant reviews. We have had Nishino on our radar for a while!
