Method

  1. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the shallots until they brown. Reduce the heat and add the peanut butter, sugar and soy sauce and stir until the sugar has melted. The mixture should be sweet and salty so add a little salt if you need to. Cool.
  2. Arrange the pineapple cubes on a plate and put a heaped tsp of mixture on each. Top each with a squeeze of lime, a piece of chilli and a coriander leaf.

    I tried these at the weekend and they went down a storm - along with Delia's bloody mary tomatoes - nice to have some canapes with a bifference and a bit of a kick.

    I served these to friends and they were a huge hit - really delicious - the sweet pineapple and salty satay mix work very well together. Now a favourite!

    They look amazing, I served them galloping around the pineapple's foliage. Not sure if i'd make them again though...quite hard work/messy to make. That's just me being lazy though :S

    Absolutely divine! I didn't fancy eating the coriander or chilli, and didn't think my guests (both in their 80s) would either, so I topped the pineapple cubes with the yummy sweet and sour topping and scattered a 'rim' of coriander around the edge of the plate and put a circle of long but thinly sliced chilli on top as a garnish. It looked as pretty as a picture, and both I and my guests thoroughly enjoyed it :-) I am serving it again tomorrow for another drinks party. I read everyone else's comments and initially tried spearing the pineapple onto cocktail sticks to make it easier to pick up but I test drove it in the kitchen and the cocktail stick came away without the pineapple (canned pineapple, maybe the cocktail stick thing works with fresh?). But sooooo tasty, definitely a lifelong favourite!

    Make these all the time and serve as pr dinner nibbles, they are just gorgeous and as you can make them ahead of time it is another bonus. The only problem is that there is never enough. They are most definitely better made with fresh pineapple.

    I served these as one of a selection of canapes at a local "Royal Ascot at the Club" event on Friday and the response was terrific. Easy to prepare, unusual and visually great I will certainly serve these again, and again, and again .......

    Dead easy to make with fresh pineapple and looked good but not as interesting a taste as I'd hoped, and my guests weren't keen. Most people tried one but no-one came back for a second.

    I agree with prawncocktail - they looked great but didn't go down that well. I think the key to success with this dish is to use really, really sweet pineapple. I used fresh and it wasn't ripe enough.

    This recipe is a fantastic find. I used tinned pinapple which made it much easier for me and it was excellent. I was hoping for some leftovers...well, there were none left!

    A bit fiddly to put together, but perhaps would have been easier if I'd used larger chunks of pineapple. The combination of the satay, pineapple and coriander do go well ... not sure if I'd make these again though.
