Take a pineapple ring. put a raw ring of onion on top, stuff the inside of the onion with mozzarella, wrap the whole thing in bacon.
if that sounds like a major pain in the ass.... its because it IS A MAJOR F'IN PAIN IN THE ASS.
The recipe comes from Harry Soo and I decided to try it last night.
I planned to make 10, and I had all the required ingredients. However after the first 5 - I gave up.
They cooked in about 40 minutes and when they were done I was hoping and praying that these things would totally suck.
If they sucked, I knew I'd never have to make them again.
But no. They were incredible. Every bite was like a deliciously condensed hawaiian pizza.
Not pictured, but on the menu:
- a few pounds of bulgogi korean bbq
- a few pounds of mixed color fingerling potatos
- two french foiled onions
- a beatiful tritip smoked over red oak and onions
- banana boat s'mores
A must try. Very appetizing. How about pics for the rest of the meal.
Would it help to buy the mozzarella in a round shape about the same diameter as the onion/pineapple rings? Then you could just slice it, cut a hole in the middle, and stack it between the pineapple and onion ring?
it might. i used string cheese
i think it might help to use fresh pineapple instead of canned, and make the hole bigger than normal
Dude I gave up making those a few weeks ago...they were the biggest pain in the ass to make and I was in no mood that day. Hope they tasted great.
I am going to try it anyway, you two. You aren't the bosses of me.
I saw these on harry's website. Looks good Troy.
I am going to harry's class on 8/23. The GF got it for me as a b-day gift. Really looking forward to it. ;D

That would be cool! We're also squeezing in a trip to disneyland on this trip. Think they'll let us take our grills on Space Mountain? ;D
nice! I'm pretty close to disneyland
Very nice! I make a similar version but cut the pineapple into chunks, then only half-cook the bacon so its soft and pliable. I use about a half piece of bacon, wrap the chunk and skewer with a toothpick then finish back on the grill!
Canned pineapple also makes this a cinch in a pinch!
Why not just wrap the bacon around the whole thing rather than trying to thread it through the hole every time. I mean, you can't eat the hole anyway! :o It might not look as pretty but it would save a hole bunch of time. See what I did there? ::) Rimshot!
Seriously, you'd just end up with a bacon covered hockey puck looking thingy, but it would be a surprise when people took the first bite.

i don't know if that'd hold the melty mozzarella in. the bacon takes 40 minutes to crisp up.
Plus when its done the bacon is a nice crispy shell, the whole thing is like a donut.

Hmm, sounds like a challenge to me. I'm on it. Can't get to the Weber for a couple of days but I'm gonna see how this works with just wrapping it all the way around, ignoring the hole in the pineapple. I think it would hold the mozzarella just as good as the other way.
But, we shall see what we shall see. 8)
Please report back! Is love to find some short cuts for this one
Yeah, hopefully I can do this on Sunday. I'll post my results with pics in this thread. If someone else wants to give it a try before then, have at it!
Hey, just wondering what the deal is with wrapping everything in BACON?
