Sugared Lime And Mango Cheeks Food

GRILLED MANGO WITH LIME, SALT AND ANCHO POWDER

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium for direct grilling. Slice the mangoes in 2 pieces from the pit. Score the flesh of the mangoes in a diamond pattern, taking care not to cut into the skin. Pop the flesh by holding the skin side and pushing up. Brush the flesh with the oil and grill, cut-side down, until slightly charred, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the mangoes to a platter and immediately drizzle with the lime juice and sprinkle with the salt, chile powder and lime zest. Garnish with cilantro leaves if desired.

SLICED FRUIT WITH SUGARED LIME ZEST

Steps:

• Grate zest from limes. Squeeze 2 teaspoons juice from one of the zested limes into a bowl. Process lime zest, sugar, and salt in a food processor until zest is coarsely ground.
• Core apple, then cut in half and slice thinly. Add to lime juice, and toss. Peel mango; cut flesh away from pit, and slice thinly. Halve papaya, remove seeds, and slice thinly.
• Arrange apple, mango, and papaya on a serving platter or plates. Sprinkle with some of the sugared lime zest, and serve remaining zest mixture on the side.

SUGARED LIME AND MANGO CHEEKS

Steps:

• Slice the cheeks from the two mangos. To do this you cut from top to bottom of the mango, feeling for the seed and slicing around it. Remove the cheeks as close to the seed as possible. Leave the skin on.
• Lay the mango cheeks, skin side down onto a large plate.
• Drizzle over the lime juice, graed lime rind and then sprinkle over the brown sugar.
• Cook on a grill, flesh side down, until lightly browned.

MANGO WITH LIME SUGAR

Steps:

• Arrange the mango slices on a serving platter. Put the chillies and a little of the sugar in a mortar and pound to break up the chilli. Add the rest of the sugar, and the zest, and pound to incorporate until the sugar becomes speckled green.
• Sprinkle the sugar over the mango slices and let guests help themselves, with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

BARBECUED MANGO CHEEKS

Steps:

• Preheat a barbecue plate on medium-high heat. Score 3 vertical lines and 3 horizontal lines into each mango cheek (don't cut all the way through). Brush cheeks generously with rum.
• Place sugar on a plate. Dip cut side of mango cheeks into sugar to form a thick coating.
• Place a sheet of non-stick aluminum foil (not the regular kind) on the hot barbecue plate. Place mango cheeks, sugar side down, on baking paper. Barbecue mango for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden.
• Turn mango skin inside out. Place on plates. Drizzle with caramel from foil. Serve with ice-cream and lime wedges.
