Greek yoghurt is the perfect side to these honey-kissed barbecued pineapple skewers.

100ml freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tbs honey
1/2 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
1 large pineapple, trimmed
1/2 cup (140g) low-fat Greek yoghurt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Mint leaves, to garnish

Method

1.

Place orange juice, honey and vanilla pod and seeds in a small saucepan and stir over medium-low heat until combined. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer for 6-8 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
2.

Meanwhile, preheat a barbecue or chargrill pan to medium-high heat.
3.

Cut the pineapple into quarters and remove the hard central core. Cut each quarter lengthways into 2 wedges, then thread each wedge onto a metal skewer and brush the cut sides with the honey glaze. Chargrill the pineapple wedges for 2 minutes each side until golden and caramelised.
4.

Combine the yoghurt and cinnamon in a bowl, then serve with pineapple wedges, drizzled with any remaining glaze.
