------ MANGO LIME SALSA 1 lg Mangos, peeled, pitted & cut into 1/8" dice 3/4 of one lime, peeled & sections (I peeled and chopped) 1 jalapenos, minced 1 Tbsps white wine vinegar Put all in pot and simmer ~20 min. If looks a lilttle too dry, add tad of water. I served it hot over the Ahi, but also put a bowl out along side and the cold was very good also.

Mango Catsup:

mango and pineapple cubes with cherries put into tinfoil with a stick of Cinnamon and rum or brandy, wrapped a parcel and put around the edge of a BBQ, works quite nicely too, you can Add brown sugar if you want, but it`s nice without also.
I love Mango, I make a salsa using mango, onion, tomato, jalapeno, cliantro, evoo, salt/pepper and serve it over grilled salmon.. Very good, my wifes favorite dish.
Oh wow you guys really came through. Thanks so much for the recipes.
When I'm working with an ingredient I'm not real familiar with I like to try out a recipe or two before venturing out on my own. Thanks again!
Mango 'cocktail' - mix mangos, blueberries a few tbl of rum, add a sprig of mint and serve in a martini glass. I have a recipe somewhere, where you add pina colada mix & rum to the 'cocktail' mix.
Mangoes are so versatile, they go well with sweet as well as savory
I prefer the sweet and here is how I enjoy it
- Just slice it and eat it by itself
- Mango milkshake
- Mango Lassi (yogurt, mango and sugar)
- Mango Panacotta
- Mango Icecream/Kulfi
- Mango Chutney
- Great addition to fruit salsa
- I love to dice ripe mangoes and add then to trifles, custards, puddings etc.
I was watching Iron Chef last night....with a house full of company, so I missed details, but it was a mango competition. Most of it looked wonderful. You should check out the website to get the recipes.
I like to mix mango into my spicy salsa recipe for shrimp or chicken wraps.
I use fresh chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, jalepeno, lime juice, cilantro and a bit of cumin, salt & pepper. Delicious.
