Mangos

Mango goes well with basil. I'd make a mango and basil tart.
I haven't made one but eaten them in restaurants. One was served with raspberries which was lovely too.

Thanks, I'll definitely make this

I usually make a mango salsa but others have suggested that.
I also make a lovely Eton Mess using mango instead of strawberries.

Meringues, mango chopped up, fresh whipped cream and some mango and passion fruit coulis which I buy in a bottle in Tesco.

Somewhere I’ve got a recipe for a chicken and mango salad, which is lovely. IIRC there’s some sort of chilli dressing. The flavours just ‘go’.

My son makes mango sorbet using frozen mango, much cheaper than fresh (and delicious!).
