what do you do with mangoes?

[fedda]

Hi, I bought 3 mangoes for £1 but I only know that you can eat them in fruit salads. What else can I do with them?

Mango Lime & Chilli Marinade on Pork Chops

oops, ...Served with a mango salsa

[policywonk]

I did nightshade's thing with the roasting and the cinnamon and the sugar. It was pretty yum - but then I'd eat just about anything if it was covered in marscapone.

I have read it, I was being a mischief making beany imp!

[fedda]

Has anyone been aware that there is a special section for jokes on mumsnet where people would really appreciate their humour?

[beansprout]

I was aware but have decided that I am just way too funny to confine myself to one section of MN.

[MyTwopenceworth]

Yeah, ta for the tip. We pretty much post where we like, this being a public forum and all.

[fedda]

Sure, you do that.

It's an American recipe so it uses cups

Ingredients
2/3 cup water
good quality green teabag or loose green tea leaves (I use Clearspring organic sencha)
1/2 cup sugar (I usually use fructose)
3 ripe mangoes
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice


Instructions
Boil kettle and make green tea, allow to steep for 5 mins or so. Pour tea into saucepan, add sugar and bring to a boil. Boil until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool about 30 minutes.

Peel mangoes and cut fruit from pit. (I cut the flesh off either side of the stone without peeling. Then score a grid in each cut piece almost through to the skin, then push it inside out and remove the cubes.) In a food processor or blender, puree mangoes with lime juice. Add tea and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass 9-inch baking dish and freeze about 3 hours.

Transfer mango mixture to a food processor. Pulse until smooth, 30 to 40 seconds. Serve at once or store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Soften 10 minutes before serving.

All the quantities are approximate, it won't matter much if you use more or less of anything so adjust it to your taste.

ROFL. this is better than TV!

[southeastastra]

blimey she only suggested juggling them.

[beansprout]

littlelapin - I'm veggie, so could I make that without the chicken?

[Desiderata]

Any how, mangoes taste like ear wax.

That's why you can get three for a pound
