By Diana Rattray, About.com

These pineapple fritters are made spicy with chopped hot peppers.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut in chunks
  • 1/2 habanero chile pepper or 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
  • 5 chives, finely minced
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, mashed & minced
  • 8 green onions, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup milk, or more
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • salt and pepper

Preparation:

Mix first seven ingredients; set aside.

Combine flour, milk, eggs, and salt and pepper together and beat well with an electric mixer. Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours. After 4 hours, combine fruit with batter.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet. Drop batter in by spoonfuls and fry for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove fritters and drain on paper towels. Serve cold, garnished with pineapple chunks or rings, if desired.
