Grilled Pineapple & BBQ Tofu Bowl

Loved it ! Loved the sweet from the pineapple and ketchup with the saltiness from the barbecue sauce and tofu!

Absolutely loved this!! I had leftover canned pineapple to use up - can confirm that it's still delicious if you don't have fresh. Will definitely make this again!

Woop woop! So thrilled to hear this, Maddie, thank you 🙌

Fun and easy dinner. I love the grilled pineapple! Thank you for the recipe! I will be making it again for sure. 😋

I prepared a couple of servings of this for my work lunch this week and had a hard time not eating it all at once - it's sooo good! I fully leaned into the tropical flavours and made a lime & coconut rice with this. To balance the flavours, I made some adjustments - a bit of soy sauce and gochujang paste for the bbq sauce, some black pepper on the pineapple in addition to the tajin spice, and a healthy splash of lime to top everything off on the plate. Yummy!

Hey Julie, we're delighted you enjoyed it! Your modifications sound fantastic, especially the lime and coconut rice. Enjoy your flavourful work lunches 🙌

Frankly, I didnt like this one too much: the sauce is basically just barbeque sauce and thus really sweet - the rice is too very sweet, so is the pineapple. Without any added greens, the dish looks a bit “too red”. And this may have been a mistake on my side, but given that the dish was very sugary, it did not help that it was also rather greasy - something light, like tomatoes or cucumbers would have helped.

Hey there, Alex, thank you for sharing your feedback. This dish is indeed more on the sweet side with its tropical elements, but it's a lovely idea to add greens or lighter elements like cucumber. We'll note this feedback for future recipes, and we hope you enjoy our other recipes more in the meantime ✨

Really good!

Nice and easy! Never tried pineapple this way. 👍

Delicious dish! Add 1/3rd extra sauce sauce since the original was a bit dry.

I just made this - amazing!!
The only ingredient I didn't have was bbq sauce, so I used a 1/4c pineapple juice and sriracha and added a teaspoon of cornflour - it still worked!!!

Thanks for the tip, friend, we're so glad that the bowl was enjoyed 🫶

Decent easy recipe

Yummy fruity combo. Needs a bit more sauce for my liking, I may double the glaze next time.
First time using tajin, I didn’t measure, I learned less is more (haha!)

Loved it!

This one is really easy to make and sooo flavour-full! Love the combination!

A huge hit at my house! A delicious combo that I’ll definitely be making again.

Delicious dinner. I didn’t have Tajin seasoning so I used chili flakes, salt and lime juice. It was still tasty.

I really enjoyed this recipe.

This is A-MA-ZING!!! Give it a try, you won’t be deceived!!!

Loved it! So easy but looks special and fancy. Grilled pineapple is so nice 😍

Looks delicious. Okay, I’m really stretching the recipe, but would it also be tolerable to use canned pineapple? And would ras el hanout be a good alternative for the takin seasoning? What would be an alternative for the barbecue sauce?

PUL Team - Aug. 2, 2023, 4:23 p.m.

Hey Robby! Fresh pineapple has a favourable texture and flavour when grilled compared to canned pineapple, but you could still try it if you'd like. For a tajín seasoning substitute, Ras el hanout could add a fun twist to the dish. Lemon or lime juice with cayenne pepper, chili pepper, or paprika may better mimic the tangy, spicy, and slightly salty kick from tajín seasoning if you're interested.

As for barbeque sauce, you could omit it or try any sauce with the flavour profile you want. For example, apple cider vinegar with brown sugar glaze may mimic barbeque sauce. If you'd like more spice, perhaps chipotle sauce is an idea. We haven't tested out any of the alternatives above, but hope it helps with your experimenting 🤗

Thanks for the quick reply! I found the bbq sauce and used the lime, cayenne pepper and paprika instead of the tajin. It was delicious!

First time I also prepared tofu that did not result in a soggy mess.

Super simple and tastes delicious 😍

I cannot thank you enough for this app, it has changed my life.

🥹🥹 it means so much, Ruth, thank you!

Wow, that was so tasty. Lots of bold flavors. Love it!!! 💚 💚

I loved all the flavours of this dish. So fruity! 🤩 Personally, I missed kind of a sauce to the rice. Maybe mix some of the tofu glaze with some pineapple juice next time 🤔

Really great dish, delicious! I paired with the classic vegan coleslaw recipe as a side for an extra BBQ feel. Will definitely be making again!

A lovely idea, Annie, thank you! 🥰

Delicious! And picky husband-approved

“Oh my god, this is so delicious” said my husband. I totally agree!!! Easy to make, loaded with flavor, and healthy! 10⭐️

Yayy so happy to hear, Natasha - a massive compliment! 🤩

Unusual and I love it when I buy a new spice I’ve never heard of! I’m not sure I totally love how sour the taste is but the mix of pineapple and protein was great

This was yummy! I really enjoyed the bold flavors in this dish.

Do you have to press the tofu at all?

PUL Team - July 20, 2023, 7:46 a.m.

Hey Rita, we didn't press ours but you certainly can if you'd like 🤗

Thank you so much! My family has been loving the app! Lifetime subscriber here for sure!

Aw thank you so much, Rita, your support means the world 🥹💛

Delicious! I don’t have enough warm pineapple in my life. This recipe came together easily. I loved cooking along with the app with the built in timers.

PUL Team - July 18, 2023, 12:36 a.m.

Yayyy so happy to hear, Katie, thank you so much 😃

I wanna try it but I don’t think I can find “tajin seasoning” around me! Is there an alternative? Thank you! 😋

Rita June - July 17, 2023, 4:52 a.m.

Amazon!

PUL Team - July 17, 2023, 7:18 a.m.

Hey Sara, tajin provides a tangy, spicy, and citrusy taste. Some alternative ideas include a generic brand or homemade chili-lime seasoning, or perhaps some chili powder with a bit of salt and lemon zest. We hope this helps for now 🤗

Loved making this. Very simple but a little time consuming frying the tofu. Might try air fryer next time and make it spicy and probably add broccoli.

PUL Team - July 12, 2023, 7:38 a.m.

Ooo let us know how it goes if you air fry it, Nikki!

A real banger. Particularly liked the spicy, tangy, grilled pineapple. Glad I went and bought the tajin.

Yayyy so happy to hear, Emil, thank you! 😃

Delicious recepy! I had to adjust it a bit, made my own ketchup and left out the Barbecue sauce because I‘m avoiding the sugar but it was still very good!

Amazing!!
