  • Step 1 Make Pineapple Chutney: Place red onion, sugar, vinegar and 3/4 of the pineapple in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until sauce reduces and mixture is thick. Remove from heat. Cool completely in pan. Stir in coriander and remaining pineapple. Set aside until required.
  • Step 2 Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
