Hoisin Glazed Grilled Pineapple and Scallion

You need just THREE ingredients for this incredible side dish! I think you'll be making it all summer long... the sweetness of the pineapple, tanginess of the hoisin sauce and fresh "grassiness" of the scallion partner perfectly with all types of meats, fish, poultry, and pork.

What's hoisin sauce? Hoisin is an Asian blend of fermented soybean paste, sesame, garlic, chili peppers, and spices. It's basically a one-stop-shop for tons of flavor. You can find it with the other Asian sauces, including the soy sauce.

Hoisin Glazed Grilled Pineapple and Scallion

Cooking spray
1 pineapple, peeled and cut into rounds (use a small pairing knife to remove the core and make "rings")
1 bunch scallions (green onions)
2-3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Coat a stovetop grill pan or outdoor grill with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high. Add the pineapple and scallions to the hot grill and brush with the hoisin sauce. When you have grill marks on one side, flip and grill the side that's been brushed with the hoisin sauce. Flip one more time to sear the sauce. The total grilling time will be 3 to 5 minutes; you're basically looking for nice grill marks, caramelized sauce, and crisp-tender pineapple and scallion.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
