1/2 yellow onion, roughly chopped
6 garlic cloves
1/4 cup chile garlic sauce (such as Sriracha )
3 tablespoons mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Place a strainer over a bowl, and transfer in pineapple chunks. Let drain well, and reserve juice.

Broil pineapple until tops of pineapple chunks and onions are charred, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
