GREEN SALAD WITH MANGO AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Soak 1/2 thinly sliced small white onion in ice water, 15 minutes; drain and pat dry. Whisk 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon honey in a large bowl; whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1/2 head chopped green-leaf lettuce, 1 diced mango, 1/2 diced English cucumber and the onion; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 diced avocado and toss.

SPICY GREEN MANGO SALAD WITH SMOKED FISH

Steps:

• Skin the smoked mackerel fillets and break the meat into small flakes. Pour the oil into a frying pan to a depth of 2cm and heat to 190C (or until a small piece of bread browns in 20 secs). Sprinkle the fish pieces into the oil and deep-fry for 1 min or until crispy. It will probably all stick together at this point, but don't worry. Lift the fish out onto lots of kitchen paper, leave to cool, then break up into pieces again.
• Peel the mango and carrot, then shred both (using a mandolin or shredder) into strips. Put the mango, carrot, shallots, chilli, peanuts and fish pieces in a large bowl and toss together. Mix the sugar with the fish sauce and lime juice (you can add more or less than 1 tbsp, depending on the tartness of the mango). Add to the salad with the Thai basil and toss together again. Pile into the centre of two medium-sized plates - or four small plates if serving as a starter - and serve immediately.

GREEN MANGO SALAD WITH MEAT

Steps:

• Toss the mango pieces with the salt and lime juice and set aside. Put the oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the garlic, shallots, and chiles and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the meat and pepper to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it loses its pinkness. Stir in the nam pla and sugar and cook for 1 minute more. Drain any excess oil from the pan, then add the beef mixture to the mangoes. Mix well, garnish with the peanuts and cilantro, and serve.
• Substitute 1 small smoked trout, skinned, boned, and broken into 1/2-inch pieces (it will fall apart as you handle it), for the meat. Proceed as directed, cooking the trout only long enough to heat it through.
