Peel the pineapple, quarter it, and remove the center core. Cut the pineapple halves lengthwise into 8 slices. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and fry the pineapple slices for two to three minutes on each side. Tear the mint leaves into small pieces and place them in a mortar and pestle with the sugar.
