Spicy Pineapple Fritters

  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Total Time: 20 mins
  • Servings: 6

“These are savory fritters filled with pineapples, habanaro, chives, garlic, turmeric and are very addictive. Serve as an appetizer, top some grilled meats, seafood or a side to a salad. Diced red pepper mix along the pineapple would be very good in this as well.”

Ingredients

  • 1 habaneros, minced ( use with or without seeds up to what you can handle or any chili)
  • 1 tablespoon diced fresh chives
  • 1 scallions, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 3 sage leaves, minced
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
  • oil, for frying

Directions

  1. Blend first 9 ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth and well mixed.
  2. Place in a bowl and add pineapple chunks. Stir to coat.
  3. In a heavy pan heat a couple inches of oil. Oil will be ready when you drop a bit of batter in and it drops to bottom sizzles and rises to surface. At this point drop by spoonfuls and fry till browned taking a couple minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Season with salt and garnish chives.
  5. Good served hot, great room temperature and even better cold.
