Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

Was this dish another attempt to get cheese and pineapple out of the eighties and into the mainstream? Potentially. But no one can fault the combination of hot griddled pineapple with chilli, feta and lime-marinated black beans. Serve with margaritas.

Ingredients

1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into eighths

1 tsp chipotle chilli flakes

1 tbsp olive oil

1 x 250g block of feta

A handful of fresh mint leaves, torn

1 x 400g tin of black beans, drained and rinsed

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 lime, zest and juice

8 tortillas, warmed

Essential kit

You will need: a barbecue.

Method

Stir the pineapple slices with the chilli flakes and olive oil, and set aside.

Wrap the feta in a piece of foil with a few of the mint leaves. Tip the black beans, extra virgin olive oil, lime zest and juice into another piece of foil and wrap it up in a neat parcel, making sure both parcels have the seams on the top.

Once your barbecue is good and hot, place the packet of black beans directly on the coals. Pop the packet of feta on one side of the grill, then grill the pineapple for 4–5 minutes on each side until just charred.

Once the pineapple is all cooked, tip the black beans into a bowl and stir through the rest of the torn fresh mint and crumble through the warm feta. Taste and adjust the lime juice as needed. Pile the pineapple onto a serving platter, and serve with the warm tortillas for people to make their own wraps.
