How To Cut Pineapple Without Waste - Morgane Recipes
I have always seen my family and Laotian peoplecut pineapples in the same way.
This method gives the pineapple a nice shapeand reduces the waste of its flesh.
Observe how the eyes of the pineapples are positioned.
The alignment of the eyes forms spirals fromthe top to the bottom of the fruit.
In this first direction, the alignment ofthe eyes is regular, and each spiral has a nice curve.
This is the direction in which I will cutthe pineapple.
In the opposite direction, the alignment ofthe eyes is not regular:
the spirals are less curved and they have breaks.
I cut the base of the pineapple as straightas possible
so that it can stand vertically
Then I cut the top by wasting as little flesh as possible
I thinly cut the skin from top to bottom always wasting as little as possible
I remove the last green skins left
I start to remove the eyes two by two following the chosen direction
For this, I give each time 2 cuts:
For the first one, I hold the knife straight,
for the second, I lean the blade.
I continue the cutting following the curveto the bottom of the pineapple
Then I do the same with the next spirals until the end
Now I cut the pineapple in quarters
I remove the hard part
Then I slice each quarter without moving the pieces
I skewer each quarter to handle it easily.
Then I put back the pineapple on its base
I remove the skewers
The pineapple is ready, it decorates your table
and you can invite your guests to enjoy.
Bon appétit!
