Grilled Tropical Fruit Skewers
Serves: 18
 
Ingredients
  • 3 medium bananas, sliced diagonally 1 1⁄2 inches thick
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ small fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Long wooden skewers
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Vegetable oil, for brushing
  • Coconut-Rum Caramel (recipe follows), chopped toasted macadamia nuts, and sweetened flaked coconut, to serve
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, toss together banana and lemon juice until well coated. Thread banana, pineapple, and mango onto skewers as desired; brush melted butter onto fruit.
  2. Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat; brush with oil. Working in batches if needed, add skewers to pan in a single layer. Cook, turning occasionally, until fruit is lightly browned and just soft, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately with Coconut-Rum Caramel, macadamia nuts, and coconut.
