Good afternoon everyone!! You are about to watch two videos that I have created (I apologise for the poor quality and editing but it's not my forte). I will get better!
What I decided to do was select a fruit and tell you about it and what I would do with it. Enjoy
Now a little bit about the mango:
The mango is a juicy stone fruit and is native to South Asia from where it has been distributed worldwide to become one of the most cultivated fruits in the tropics. It is also the national fruit of India, Pakistan, and the Phillippines, and the national tree of Banglasdesh.
If you ever go for a curry and they have Mango Lassi on the drinks menu, I urge you to try some. You'll thank me for it!
Mango Chutney Recipe: Alton Brown
4 pounds fresh mangos, ripe but not too soft, peeled3 tablespoons vegetable oil1 teaspoon chile flakes2 1/2 cups medium dice red onion1/4 cup minced fresh ginger1 cup small dice red bell pepper8 ounces unsweetened pineapple juice4 ounces cider vinegar1/2 cup brown sugar1 1/2 tablespoons curry powderKosher salt and fresh ground white pepper1/2 cup raisins or golden raisins1/2 cup toasted, roughly chopped macadamia nuts
Cut the mango flesh away from the pit. The pit is shaped similar to an obelisk, so you'll end up with 2 large pieces and 2 smaller pieces from each mango. Roughly chop the flesh.
In a saute pan heat the oil and add the chile flakes. Be careful not to burn the chile, just toast to flavor the oil. Add the onions and sweat until soft. Add the ginger and bell pepper and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Finally add the mango and cook for 1 more minute.
In a separate bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, and curry powder. Add this mixture to the pan. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a bare simmer and reduce for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper. Add the raisins and the nuts and transfer to another container over an ice bath. I used a mild yellow curry powder, but if you want it hotter go for red.
