Grilled Bukidnon Pineapple and Organic Green Salad

Follow @ilovemyveggies

As of this posting, most of you have already received your organic deliveries today from our lovely certified organic partner, My Personal Farmer in Bukidnon.

We have our own stash here at The Green Grocer base and wanted to find out what interesting salad we could whip up with our organic greens.

We consulted with no less than Mikko Reyes, head chef of our favorite comfort food establishment in Bonifacio High Street, 2nd's Restaurant, who concocted a delightful recipe exclusively for The Green Grocer organic patrons. Just thinking about this dish is making me salivate!

The secret ingredient?

Grilled pineapples.

Here is one of the best salads you will ever make in the comfort of your home:

Grilled Bukidnon Pineapple and Organic Green Salad 
with Crumbled Blue Cheese, Toasted Pine Nuts 
and Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
Serves 4-6 


Ingredients:

• 1/2 Pineapple: peeled, core taken out, and cut into rings .5" thick 
• 1 bunch each of Okayama and Red Wave lettuce: washed under running water, keep in ice water for 5 mins. to make it crisp, then cut into smaller leaves 
• 20. pine nuts: toast in an oven toaster or in a pan with no oil low heat until aroma comes out. 
• 80g Danish Blue Cheese or any kind of semi soft blue cheese available: roughly crumbled into chunks
• 50ml Balsamic vinegar 
• 150ml Extra Virgin Olive oil 
• 20ml Palawan Honey 
• Salt to taste 

Preparation and Assembly:

1. Grill pineapple rings in a hot grill or grill pan until caramelized with grill marks. Let cool then cut into chunks. 
2. Whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. 
3. To assemble, place greens and pineapple in a mixing bowl and season with a bit of salt. Then add the vinaigrette and the toss. Don't be afraid to use your hands, its ok. ;) 
4. Transfer to a serving dish then top it with toasted pine nuts and crumbled blue cheese. 

Enjoy!

There are green mangoes.

And there are The Green Grocer's green mangoes.

         

Do you see the size of that monster?

Introducing our version of the green mango. The Green Grocer's Cambodian mangoes taste just like the local Indian mango, except, there's a whole lot more of it to enjoy! They are so good and oh so crunchy.

Make the most of them while they are in season! Two mangoes tip the scales at 1kg, perfect for an afternoon snack with a friend. Enjoy it best with a bottle of our favorite gourmet bagoong from Private Chef Neil Ramos.

If you have never heard of Chef Neil's bagoong, it is because it is one of the South's best kept secrets! The commercial bottles in the supermarket are good, but they have nothing on Chef Neil's shrimp paste. NOTHING.  It is the best bagoong out there. I know of a few people who turn down good cooking to have Chef Neil's bagoong on rice alone. Okay, not a healthy recommendation, but it's that good.

And so, we at The Green Grocer feel it would be a crime for Alabang's best kept secret to remain just that. Why not include it with our mangoes?

The Green Grocer's Gourmet Bagoong by Chef Neil Ramos. A must-try!

   2 pcs      Cambodian Mangoes (approximately 1kg) @ ₱80
+ 1 bottle  Gourmet Bagoong (220ml) @ ₱150
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
   ₱230   Green Mangoes package

Buy another kilo of green mangoes for a discounted price of ₱70.
That's a total package cost of ₱300!

The Green Grocer's green mangoes package is available for delivery from June 21st onwards. Don't think. Just call.

Preggy ladies, you'll thank me for this.
