In heavy duty pan add the Prickly Ash Peppercorns,toast...rolling and shaking, as not to burn...you just want them to be nice and fragrant.
Remove from pan and set a side...but just for a moment until you get things together...then start again,by applying medium heat,to melt the butter.
Lower heat every so slightly and add the shallots,garlic,chives,parsley,and your spice blend,then those wonderful toasted Prickly Ash Peppercorns.
Add the soy sauce and the sweet maple syrup.
Keep cooking for about 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool off completely...Place the cheeks into all...Cover, refrigerate...they will only need to wait about 30 minutes until they are ready to meet the heat.
Have the sweet fresh pineapple in bite size peices...then skewer the cheeks,with the zucchini slices, button mushrooms and fresh pineapple,placing them snug on the skewers,but still room enough for even cooking.
~Prepare the Grill~
Start cooking the skewers...about 3 minutes on both sides will do quite nicely,while basting frequently with the marinade.
~ These would be nice with a clean fresh salad,crusty bread,a good Cardonnay,or Stout...then cool down the taste buds with a good rich homemake vanilla ice cream,and a sugar cookie on the side.~ ~~
~Since you have the grill already heated,make the rest of your cheeks this way...less spice...but then...not everyone can handle alot of spice~
About 1 pound of Fish Cheeks Butter 1 Red Onion,chopped 4 Cloves Galic,sliced 1 teaspoon Sea Salt White Pepper 1 Tablespoon Fresh Chives,chopped Zest of Two Lemons Juice for 1/2 Fresh Lemon 1 teaspoon Fresh Dill,chopped 3/4 Cup White Wine 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil 3 Tablespoon Capers...you don't have to,but they are a nice add In your 2 tablespoons of butter,saute the onion and garlic until the onions are translucent,add salt,chives,zest,lemon juice,and wine.Cook to reduce down to about 1/3.This intensifies the sauce,making it rich in nature.
