Stewed pineapple

Flavorful
Description

This is a classic sweet dessert that we always make. It’s perfect for after a meal and these stewed, almost candied, pineapples get better and better every time they get warmed up.

Ingredients
  • 750g/1lb 10oz frozen pineapple chunks
  • 250g/9oz caster sugar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 cardamom pods, crushed
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 150g/5½oz ghee
  • ice cream of your choice
Directions
  1. Put the pineapple in a medium non-stick pan with the caster sugar, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon and fennel seeds. Put over a high heat.
  2. Let the pineapple boil in its juices for 20 minutes (lots of liquid will be released from the pineapple). Reduce the heat and then simmer for another 20 minutes.
  3. Add the ghee and cook gently until the pineapple is a clear amber colour.
  4. Serve the stewed pineapple hot with a dollop of cold ice cream.

In it, shredded rotisserie chicken, olives, sautéed onions and bell pepper, and crispy rendered soppressata are topped with cooked saffron rice and baked until the rice gets crispy on top to make a comforting dinner.

Ultimate Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

This is like a creamy, cheesy, full-of-flavor-in-every-bite dish. The chicken is tender and moist and the tortillas are soft. The enchilada sauce is tangy and pungent and complements the creamy, rich filling so well. This is also great for entertaining because it can be fully assembled ahead of time or even frozen and cooked later. Serve with toppings such as salsa, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and jalapenos.
