Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or neutral oil
  • ½ cup yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder mild or medium-spiced
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric for additional color
  • 1 cup pineapple fresh and finely diced
  • ¾ cup coconut milk full-fat for best flavor
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until melted.
  • Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle in the curry powder and turmeric, stirring well to coat the onions and release the spices’ aromas.
  • Add the finely diced pineapple, cooking for 5 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
  • Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in the lime juice, honey, and salt, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  • Simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Blend the sauce using an immersion blender for a smoother consistency or leave it chunky for texture.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature alongside grilled meats, seafood, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • If a thicker sauce is desired, let it simmer for longer.
