Grilled Pineapple Slaw
A supremely delicious coleslaw with character! It has so much flavour it can certainly enhance any fish/chicken/beef dish of your choosing.
This recipe is part of a much bigger picture. You may have worked that out already! But if you are not ready to go the whole fish tacos thing, it still works really well with any fish, grilled or barbecued meats of choice, or just as a great flavour hit on a vegetarian menu. This recipe appears with all it's friends (tortillas, fish tacos, chipotle cream) in the Tenina's America cookbook, which you should really take a look at if this is your sort of thing!
I have given you a Thermomix option in this recipe, but I prefer it done the old-fashioned way, both for textureand how prettyit looks when you put it all together.(I do occasionally get outmy Shun knives, don’tyou?)
