Ingredients

• 1 pineapple
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 4 tsp desiccated coconut
• 4 tbsp zero-fat Greek-style yoghurt (optional)

Method

1 Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then remove the peel. Cut into 4 thick slices, and remove the core of each with a small knife.

Fresh pineapple is ideal for this dish but it works with tinned pineapple slices too. Allow two slices per person. You can also use ready-prepared fresh pineapple pieces, threaded on skewers.

2 Barbecue for 2-3 minutes on each side.

3 Serve each slice sprinkled with coconut and with a wedge of lime on the side. Add a spoonful of yoghurt if you like.

Try with other fruits too – mangoes, peaches, strawberries and bananas.
