  1. 1 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.

Carefully remove from grill and place peppers in paper bag to cool.
  3. 3 After peppers are cool, rub skins off gently with paper towels, cut in half, and remove and discard seeds. Cut the cooled pineapple and peppers into a small dice and place into a bowl. Add mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest; stir to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours to 1 day before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Chop pineapple into small segments, including the rind. You can remove the woody core from the segments if you wish. Add to a large container, e.g. a Mason jar with only a flat lid. The container needs to be able to expel the gas that will build up during fermentation, but also needs to be somewhat airtight to prevent the formation of vinegar.
  2. 2 Crush ginger slightly with the side of a knife to open it up. Add ginger, brown sugar, habanero peppers, cinnamon, and water to the container. Stir to combine, cover, and let stand for 2 days in a warm place until mixture slightly fizzy and warm to the touch.
  3. 3 Strain mixture through a fine-meshed sieve into fermentation-grade bottles. Cover and store in your refrigerator. Enjoy for up to 1 week. Tepache may continue to carbonate in the bottles while stored and explode if left too long.

  1. 1 Place pineapple, brown sugar, chipotle peppers, bourbon, nutmeg, and ginger in a blender; blend until smooth.
  2. 2 Make diagonal cuts in ham in a diamond pattern, about 1 inch apart and 1/2 inch deep, using a sharp knife. Place ham in a large bowl. Pour chipotle marinade over ham; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 6 hours, flipping ham occasionally.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  4. 4 Remove ham from marinade and shake off excess; reserve marinade. Place ham in a roasting pan. Cook in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, bring reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth; whisk into marinade. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thick and glaze-like, about 5 minutes. Spoon glaze over ham.
  6. 6 Return ham to the oven; cook until glaze bakes onto ham, basting with glaze every 30 minutes, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ham, near but not touching bone, reads at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours more.

  2. 2 Brush pineapple and corn with oil and place carefully on the grill. Cook pineapple until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes. Flip and leave on heat just until grill marks appear on the second side, about 3 minutes more; do not overcook, as pineapple will become mushy.
  3. 3 Grill corn, turning throughout, until somewhat charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from grill and cool until safe too handle. Cut kernels off cobs into a bowl.
  4. 4 Assemble 2 bowls by spooning equal amounts of rice into the bottom and topping each with 1/2 the roasted corn kernels. Spoon crema over over corn and drizzle with hot sauce. Add 2 to 3 pineapple rings to each bowl and top with cotija cheese and cilantro. Add salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.
