Grilled Fruit Clafoutis
- 1 medium pear, peeled, cored, and cut in 1/2
- 1 (6-ounce) wedge fresh pineapple, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- Olive oil, for brushing fruit and Dutch oven
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Special equipment: Chimney starter, all-natural charcoal briquettes, and kettle grill
- Fill 1 large chimney starter with charcoal briquettes and light.
- Once the coals are ashy white, transfer to a kettle grill and spread evenly.
- Set grate over coals.
- Lightly brush all sides of fruit with oil and grill for 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
- Remove from the grill to a cutting board, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Lightly oil the bottom and sides of the Dutch oven and spread the fruit evenly over the bottom.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until frothy and lightened in color, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the flour and whisk just to combine.
- Add the milk and vanilla and whisk.
- Pour the batter over the fruit and cover with the lid.
- Carefully set 22 to 23 coals on the lid and leave only 18 to 19 coals under the grate.
- If you have more coals than this, remove them from the grill or push them to the edges so they are not directly under the Dutch oven.
- Set the Dutch oven on the grate, 2 inches above and directly over the coals.
- Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Allow the clafoutis to cool for 30 minutes before removing from the Dutch oven to a serving plate.
- Slice and serve..
