Make ananás com hortelã // pineapple and mint

june. it's hard to explain, it's a month of typical portuguese things. last month of spring. first of september. from all the seasons crossing, this is the prettiest one. from spring, to summer. the biggest days of the year. my birthday. and all the memories. memories of, last days of school. of popular festivities. the plans for the big st. john's night out. the first trips to the swimming pool. the first 'al fresco' nights. the first ice cream. the cluster of people on the street. of waiting half hour to eat 'bifanas'. or 'farturas'. the smell of grilled sardines. of promises to an unforgettable summer. or the smell of 'manjerico'. that every year at our home, everyone promised to take care of it to last until the next season. june, my favourite month.

ideia retirada do livro 'da horta para a mesa' da Cláudia S. Villax, que o faz com morangos e é também delicioso.
para saber como cortar um ananás, vejam este vídeo.
ingredientes:
1 ananás médio (1,300 kg)
10 folhas de hortelã, finamente picadas
2 c. chá mel (opcional)
Começar por cortar ao meio e na vertical, sem retirar as folhas. Cortar então essas mesmas metades em novas metades, o que resulta em 4 partes iguais de ananás (quatro 'barcos'). Então, cortar o núcleo duro do ananás (que normalmente é a o buraco da rodela do ananás) e depois com uma faca afiada cortar a fruta rente à casca. Por fim cortar o ananás em triângulos.
Por o ananás numa taça, espalhar as folhas de hortelã por cima e o mel (para cortar acidez).
Levar ao frigorífico durante 1 hora ou até ser hora de servir.

idea taken from the book 'da horta para a mesa' from the portuguese cookbook author Cláudiia S. Villax, which makes it with strawberries and mint and it's delicious.
to know how to slice a pineapple, watch this video.
ingredients:
1 medium pineapple (1,300 kg)
10 mint leaves, finely chopped
2 tsp. honey (optional)
Start by cutting it in half vertically, without taking the leafs off. Then slice the halves in half, which will leaves with 4 equal pieces of pineapple (for 'boats'). Then, cut the hard core of the pineapple (which is usually the hole of the pineapple slice) and then with a sharp knife cut the fruit by running the knife between the fruit and skin. Finally cut the pineapple into small triangles.
Place the pineapple 'boats' in a bowl, scatter the mint leaves on top and some honey (to cut some acidity).
Leave it to cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until you are ready to serve it.
