The flavor is mild enough that it allows the pineapple sauce to really shine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shallots: <\/strong>The shallots are slightly sweet and slightly savory. They add aromatic depth.

These are sweet and tangy and can help the meat caramelize during cooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soy sauce:\u00a0<\/strong>The salty and umami notes in soy sauce balance the pineapple&#8217;s sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dijon mustard:\u00a0<\/strong>Dijon mustard adds a little additional tang. The spicier notes cut through the sweeter elements of the sauce.
