Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 2 min.
You will need the following utensils:
- A chopping board
- A good knife
Stage 2 - ⌛ 1 min.
Start with top: cut about 1 cm or ½ inch beneath the leaves.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.
Then the bottom, remove 1 cm or ½ inch here too.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 4 min.
Stand the pineapple up, and cut vertically in strips to remove all the skin.
Stage 5 - ⌛ 3 min.
Go over the outside again to cut off any remaining "eyes". Pineapple should now be completely yellow.
Stage 6 - ⌛ 1 min.
Cut pineapple into quarters vertically.
Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.
Lay each piece flat, cut out the hard fibrous core. Also remove any brown over-ripe parts.
Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.
Then cut quarters as required for your recipe, here in medium size pieces.
Stage 9 - ⌛ 2 min.
Finally, squeeze all the pieces of skin or trimmings of flesh in your hands to extract the juice that you can drink or use in a recipe or a cocktail.
Remarks
This method applies to a Victoria Pineapple (small, but incredably tasty, especially if they come from Reunion), but of course it's the same for other kinds of pineapple.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
Source: Home made.

Sushi
Sushi is probably the best known element of Japanese cooking outside Japan.
