Mangonada Margarita Food

MANGONADAS MARGARITAS

Steps:

• Arrange the mango chunks on a silicone-lined sheet pan in single layer. Place the pan, uncovered in the freezer and freeze the fruit until solid, which should take about 2 hours. Alternatively, you can put the mango into a freezer bag and freeze them until solid for up to two months.
• Cut one of the limes in half. Cut one of those lime halves into 4 wedges. Juice the remaining half and the other whole lime to extract 1/3-1/2 cup of lime juice to use in the mangonadas later. Set this juice aside.
• Pour the Tajín onto a salad plate or bowl.Use one of the lime wedges to wet the rim of the margarita glasses. Dip the rims into the Tajín to coat it thoroughly. Set both of the glasses aside to dry. Discard the use wedge of lime.
• To the carafe of your blender, add the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, water, and sugar. Next add the frozen mango chunks and the ice.
• Place the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high for 30 seconds. Stop the blender and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the carafe. Blend again on high for 30-45 seconds. Stop and scrape the blender again. If you find the mangonada is too thick add a tablespoon more tequila or water to the blender.Blend once more on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is very smooth and free of lumps.
• Spoon or pour the chamoy into each of the goblets, dividing it equally between the glasses. Swirl the chamoy in the glass slightly.
• Divide the mangonada mixture evenly between the glasses and garnish each with a tamarind-chile straw.
• Serve and enjoy responsibly.

MANGONADAS

Steps:

• Arrange 2 1/2 cups of the cubed mango in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, loosely cover with plastic wrap and freeze until fruit is firm, at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours. Meanwhile, reserve the remaining mango in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Transfer the frozen mango to a food processor. Add the sugar, lime juice and 1/2 cup hot water. Process the mixture until completely smooth, stopping to stir with a wooden spoon, and adding up to 1/4 cup more hot water as needed so the consistency is similar to softened sorbet (a few small chunks of mango are fine).
• Put the chamoy on a small plate and the tajín on a second plate. Press the rim of a 12-ounce glass into the chamoy and then into the tajin to coat; repeat with another glass. Divide one-third of the reserved mango chunks between the glasses. Top each with a generous pinch of tajín. Using a small resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off, squirt some chamoy around the inside of each glass.
• Layer the glasses (in the following order) with a big scoop of mango sorbet, half the remaining mango chunks, a big pinch of tajín, the remaining sorbet, the remaining mango chunks, another big pinch of tajín and a drizzle of chamoy. Serve with a tamarind candy straw.

MANGONADA

Steps:

• Place 5 cups mango in a blender, reserving the remaining mango. Add the sugar, lime juice and 3/4 cup cold water to the blender, and blend on medium-high speed until puréed. Blend in tequila or rum, if using. Blend in additional water, adding 1/4 cup at a time, until mango mixture reaches the desired consistency.
• Chill mango mixture, covered, in refrigerator until ready to serve. For a colder mangonada, transfer mixture to the freezer until it reaches the consistency of a slushy.
• To serve, pour or scoop about 1/2 cup of mango mixture into each of four 16-ounce glasses. Add about 1/3 cup reserved mango to each glass, followed by 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chamoy and a generous sprinkle of Tajín. Repeat with the remaining mango mixture, mango pieces, chamoy and a final sprinkling of Tajín on top. Garnish each glass with a tamarind candy straw, if using, and a spoon. Serve immediately.
