Looks good! Failing all other inspiration, banana leaves make pretty good plates. Traditional in south east asia. Just don’t try and pick them up when they have food on!

That looks simply amazing.

Pineapple is such an amazing thing to cook with. A world of possibilities. Very nice!

Catty – glad you liked the salsa! Let me know what you think if you do end up making it. I think grilled pineapple rocks.
A forkful of Spaghetti – So you got halfway through the title?!
Mathilde – I don’t let it stop me! I just cook things that can be done with the lid on like this. Don’t let the British summer derive you of BBQ food!
Danny – see above re: lid
Lizzie – no the leaves are just a protector – just a bit more exciting than foil to be honest.
MsMarmiteLover – LOVE pineapple in curries. I just blogged one recently with prawns and pineapple.
Johanna – They are nice if you are having guests over definitely, a bit more interest for the eye.
Joey – I love it. Perhaps a bit ott for someone who lives nowhere near a banana tree but sometimes a girl just wants a bit of colour.
Johnathan – yeah because the leaves have lots of gaps and splits in them so the smoke can get in there

Looks great. Did you get any smoky flavours from the BBQ?

The pineapple salsa sounds like a winner! And I love food cooked in banana leaves…we use that a lot in our local cuisine

that sounds wonderful… i love seabass from the grill, but unless you want the skin to remain on your grill indefinitely, you need some sort of barrier – and the foil i was using had no style at all! banana leaves are the perfect solution!

Great dish. Pineapple curry is good too, surprisingly.

I still haven’t tried grilling pineapple, but I imagine it caramelises beautifully.

Do the banana leaves impart any flavour, or are they a bbq protector?

You should be commended for endevouring to cook only on the bbq during a British summer. Which means that most of your meals at home are either mostly impromptu or mostly soggy.

Sea Bass and salsa looks delicious
