Grilled Pineapple with a Sorrel Wine Dip – Sierra Leone Flavours
This grilled pineapple recipe with sorrel leaves wine dip make a great barbeque starter dish.
We have been lucky with the weather recently. Longer warmer days filled with lots of sunshine and fun.
So much so that I have started up my Sierra Leonean beach corner again. It really is amazing what you can do with a paddling pool, sand, a beach towel, some pictures and a little imagination. Yeap folks, I am right back there on one of the many gorgeous Sierra Leonean beaches.
Ok, so I may not be there in body but I am certainly there in spirit with this delicious grilled pineapple with a sorrel dip. Eats like these were the sort of thing we rustled up to greet guests when they arrived for barbeques. Super simple, delicious and fingerlicking good. And this time I have jazzed it up with the addition of the light and summery Sauvingnon Blanc to the sorrel dip. Just that little bit more complex.
Oh and what to do with the left over bottle of wine? Well serve it alongside the grilled pineapple. Your guests will thank you.
I leave you with how to make grilled pineapple with a sorrel leaves dressing.

Oh how I wish I was on the beach at home!!
The dip sounds amazing !
This looks great Bintu, I love the dressing and even more the imagination for the Sierra Leonean corner. GG
I love grilled pineapple, and usually with a savoury dip or drizzle (although sometimes with melted chocolate). This sounds really unusual and so easy too. Pinned, Stumbled, Yummed and Tweeted!
Grilled pineapple is delicious, and the dip sounds really good!
I love fresh pineapple and paired with a little Lindeman Bin 95 Sauvignon Blanc! I would enjoy a glass on the side as well 🙂
Ooo – love this! And now, I’m also dreaming about a lovely beach 😉
Wow grilled pineapples and dip? what would you think of next, you genius! Looks delicious:-)
Thanks Bintu, know I’m craving pineapple! Loving the sound of the dip with wine in it. Would never have thought of doing that. Stumbled, tweeted & pinned 🙂
Thanks so much. Appreciate the shares.
What wonderful flavours, perfect for those warm balmy days. That Sierra Leone of yours sounds like an amazing place 😉
Hope you make it out there someday Choclette.
Mmm, I love grilled pineapple and that dressing sounds incredible.
😀
OOh I love the look and sound of this so much! Yum! 🙂 I like the idea of a Sierre Leone beach corner too, ha!
Maybe you can set one up too Elizabeth.
Wow this looks like such a simple but supremely tasty idea for a summer party… I adore pineapple but have never put it on the grill before. I fancy making skewers with pineapple and halloumi with your dip… sweet and salty!
Ohhhhh I like the idea of the halloumi with it.
I love grilled pinaapple and usually do it on the BBQ during the summer along with peaches – I can’t think that I’ve ever had Sorrel so am very intrigued with the dip which sounds like a really good contrast to the ultra sweet pineapple!
Ooh I hope you get to try the sorrel leaves. Nice and sharp and great with the wine.
I often use grilled pineapple in salads but your dip is very innovative, I must try it.
Thanks Nayna.
