Instructions
- Set up a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (3+ burners), ignite all to medium-high; after 15 minutes, shut off one central burner and reduce others to medium. For charcoal, pile one chimney of ashed-over briquettes on one side with a drip pan opposite. (Check your grill manual.)
- Prep the pineapple: Trim 1/2 inch from base to peel and flatten. Stand upright, peel skin fully. Halve lengthwise through core. Place one half core-side down; use wooden spoons along edges to make 1/4-inch cuts without slicing through. Repeat with other half.
- Marinate and fill: Place halves in a 9-by-13-inch dish; drizzle with 1 cup teriyaki sauce and marinate 10 minutes, turning once. Prop one half core-side down over an inverted bowl; press ends to fan cuts. Divide chorizo into portions and stuff slits generously. Repeat.
- Grill: Place halves core-side down on indirect heat; close lid. Grill until chorizo is golden and pineapple is deep yellow and tender, 25-35 minutes. Glaze with 1/4 cup teriyaki; transfer to board.
- Make salad: Toss cucumber, chile, lime juice, onion, and remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki in a bowl.
- Serve: Stand halves upright by crown; slice into portions. Fan over warm rice with cucumber salad for a tropical feast that screams grill mastery!
