Ingredients:
§ 3 mangoes
§ Salt, to taste
§ Cayenne pepper, to taste
§ Olive oil
§ 1 lime, halved
§ 1/2 cup Mexican crema (or 1/3 cup sour cream mixed with 2 tablespoons milk)
§ 1 Jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced or chopped
§ Fresh cilantro, chopped
Preparation:
1. Preheat a grill to medium-high.
2. Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh off the sides, away from the pit in pieces that are as big and even as possible. Lay the slices flat on a baking sheet, season with salt and cayenne, and drizzle with olive oil. Turn the slices over and repeat. Squeeze one of the lime halves over the top.
3. Grill the mango slices, turning once, until well-marked. This may take 2 to 3 minutes or up to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of your grill. Use a small slice of mango as a tester and then go from there.
4. Transfer the grilled slices to serving plate and squeeze the other lime half on top. Spoon the crema over the mango and garnish with jalapenos and cilantro or serve them on the side.
Use a sharp vegetable peeler and make this
really easy on yourself!
Do your best to cut around the really annoying
pit in the middle of the mango, but if you get
a little piece in your slice, just whittle it out
with a paring knife, no biggie
I used a little black pepper to season these
in addition to the salt and cayenne, but I
think next time I'll just stick with the cayenne
because it over-powered the black pepper
anyways
Jalapeno, crema, and lime at the ready
I turned my grill up all the way and let these
puppies cook for at LEAST 10 min and they
still refused to get nice grill marks :/ any
advice? Something wrong with my grill or my
mango?
No matter...it still tasted like summery perfection!
