Grilled Pineapple and Red Onion Salsa

This Grilled Pineapple and Red Onion Salsa is delicious served with tortilla chips as an appetizer. It's also fabulous spooned over grilled fish or added to tacos.

I even mixed some leftovers of this grilled pineapple and red onion salsa into leftover shredded red chili short rib meat and wrapped the mixture into some hot tortillas and topped them with shredded lettuce. The flavors were wonderfully sweet and savory.

Tiger Bread Rolls

These Tiger bread rolls, with a soft crumb and a crust coated with a crunchy mottled crust are wonderful for sandwiches and dinner rolls. The crunchy crust comes from a rice flour paste that you spread over the shaped rolls.

This bread is characterized by its soft and pillowy crumb and thin crispy crust that is unique because it is spread with a rice flour, oil, sugar, and yeast concoction in the middle of the second rise.
