Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Side Dish and Loblaws Thanksgiving contest

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Loblaws and Zehrs. All opinions are 100% mine.

During this year's Thanksgiving meal, I plan to serve a sweet and spicy side dish made using fresh, golden pineapple. I like that during this time of the year, I can use fresh pineapples to make this side dish, which makes the holiday even more special. We enjoy the spicy and sweet flavours in this dish that compliment the meal. 

To prepare this side dish you will need...

1 fresh ripe pineapple 
1 tbsp oil 
1 small onion 
4 to 5 curry leaves chopped optional 
2" cinnamon stick 
3 to 4 cardamom seeds 
1/4 tsp mustard seeds 
1/2 tsp turmeric 
1/2 tbsp chilli powder to taste 
1/2 tsp salt to taste 
1 to 2 tbsp brown sugar to taste

Cut the outer skin and core of the pineapple and cut it into small chunks. Heat a pan with a tablespoon of oil on medium high heat. When the oil is hot add the mustard seeds, curry leaves if you are using any, onions, cinnamon stick and the cardamom seeds.

Once the onions become translucent add the pineapple chunks with the chilli powder, turmeric and salt. Mix the ingredients and add the sugar. Mix the ingredients and let them cook on low heat covered for about 20 to 30 minutes until the pineapples have become a golden brown colour.

Serve this as a side dish to your Thanksgiving meal. Join Loblaws Thanksgiving Facebook contest and enter for a chance to win one of these prizes
