Hawaiian Hush Puppies

This was given to me by a friend years ago. I have since tweaked it to my liking and think you will like it also. I have eaten it many times with fried tilapia. I call them Hawaiian hush puppies because that’s what they remind me of with the pineapples and slight sweetness.

One of most obvious way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak?
