This is the best Pineapple Achar recipe on the web!!
SINGAPORE
Makes about 3 cups
Achar is an Indian and Southeast Asian relish-like dish often made with fruit. This one contrasts the cooling succulence of fresh pineapple with the fiery bite of chiles. There is one ingredient that may take you by surprise here: fish sauce. Yet, throughout Southeast Asia this briny condiment is paired with fruit. You’ll be amazed how the salt in the fish sauce brings out the sweetness of the pineapple. And how the acidity in the fruit eliminates the fishy flavor in the fish sauce. So try it even if you have misgivings. I promise you’ll be delighted. This recipe was inspired by an achar I tasted at a food stall in the Arab market in Singapore.
_ tbs asain fish sauce, , or more to taste
_ tbs lime juice, fresh, or more to taste
_ tbs sugar, or more to taste
_ c fresh pineapples, diced
_ to 3 green chilies, hot Asian red or green, or jalapenos, thinly sliced (for a milder achar, seed the chiles)
Combine 1 tablespoon each fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar in an attractive bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the pineapple and chile. Taste for seasoning, adding more fish sauce, lime juice, or sugar as necessary; the mixture should be sweet, fruity, tart, and a little salty. Serve immediately.
