Ingredients

1 pound tomatillos, husked and halved 

2 slices pineapple (each about 6 inches long and 1/2 inch thick) 

3 fresh serrano chiles, stemmed 

1 garlic clove 

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 

1 tablespoon honey 

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, finely chopped 

1 tablespoon finely chopped white onion 

Preparation

Preheat grill to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grate for just 5 or 6 seconds). Grill tomatillos, pineapple, and chiles, flipping once, until blackened and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.

Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a large knife on a cutting board, crush together garlic and salt to form a paste. Pulse garlic paste, tomatillos, chiles, and honey in a food processor until coarsely combined; transfer to a bowl.

Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch dice. Add pineapple, cilantro, and onion to the tomatillo mixture; stir until combined. Serve warm or at room temperature.
