Mangos

I make a great and very easy mango chutney that I serve with cold meats, cheese or curry . It's delicious !

TriciaF I don't think they are ripe enough to eat straight away when you buy them from the supermarket, and they are probably never the same as picking a perfectly ripe mango from the tree because they have to travel so far (don't ours in the UK come from Chile?)

However, I think if you press them gently and they have a bit of 'give' they are ripe.
Likewise avocados which never seem to keep as well here.

I use Mango in Coronation Chicken, instead of Apricots.

Chicken and mango salad is lovely. Like melon we prefer them to be very ripe as they have a stronger flavour.

I once had some mango ice-cream made by the daughter of a friend. It was absolutely delicious.
I asked how she made it, and she said (as far as I remember) she puréed the mango and added that to the normal icecream recipe.
I just chop it up and mix with fresh pineapple.
Any tips how to choose a mango at the right stage of ripeness?

I am off to do something with the mango in my fruit bowl - before it gets past it

Great minds think alike Cherry!

Interesting that we're all going for the 'savoury' option.

Cut mango in to small cubes
Cube an avocado
Skin and chop a large tomato
Finely chop a red onion
Mix together with a small amount of lemon juice
I use as a side salad and also with baked potato.

This morning I had oats sultanas & mango topped with yogurt for breakfast

I also like mango & lime chutney

I must try the mango and avocado salad

Chicken and mango curry?

There are other recipes, I haven't tried this one but it looks quite easy.

Mango will freeze but is only suitable for cooking after being frozen.

Icecream? With thick Greek yogurt instead of cream
(I wonder if that would freeze OK?)

I do variations on these:

Mango & avocado salad

Mango salsa

Both great with chicken and fish, or on toasted soughdough/ciabatta.

Nice in a salad, or google it and you'll get lots of recipes

Use them instead of pineapple in Sweet and Sour Chicken.
