Altered ingredient amounts. Didnt use salt and pepper (forgot!) and thought it was still fine, and marinated it in the fridge most of the day. - 17 May 2009
Out of the ordinary...that's for sure! But, even though I wasn't sure at the beginning, I know I will definitely make this again! Wierd combo of flavours but the guests LOVED it. Next time I would use less tequila...not cos of the flavour, but to save tequila:-). I reckon a little more than half the amount would be enough - cos the lime and lemon juice mixed with the tequila make enough marinade for all the pineapple. See my tweaks too - 17 May 2009
I think it actually tasted better when I was forced to use dried coriander. - 29 Sep 2008
