Having a mangonificent summer!
Mangoes are in abundance this summer and we’ve certainly been making the most of their sweet taste (and low cost). Whilst packed with vitamin C and other nutritional benefits, mangoes are also a versatile ingredient that lends itself well to both sweet and savoury dishes. It's tropical flavour pairs nicely with lime, chilli, coconut, white chocolate, seafood (and the list goes on).
Here’s what we’ve been cooking with mango this summer season:
Breakfast
Want to eat mango for breakfast all year round? Buy them whilst they’re in season, peel, cut into cubes and keep in the freezer for up to 6 months. This is a great idea if you love a smoothie and you will save heaps of money on buying supermarket frozen mango later in the year!
Salads
Thermomix® is only getting better with the new Thermomix® Cutter coming soon. This is the must-have accessory to make salad meal prep a breeze... Exclusively available as a Host Reward when you hold a Thermomix® Cooking Demo, register your interest here and a Consultant will be in touch with more information.
Back to its roots - a touch of Asia
Mango originates from Asia, so it’s no wonder it lends itself so well to chilli, coriander and spice. You’ll find most of these recipes and more in our Flavours of India or Around Asia cookbook.
You can find more great Asian flavours using mango on Recipe Community like this Mango green fish curry. Import this recipe (and others that you love) to your own Cookidoo® account using Created Recipes and then you can make anytime using Guided Cooking on your TM6 (plus you can add any other ingredients, tips or steps to make this recipe your own).
Dessert
For dessert, you want mango to be at its ripest and sweetest. Did you know you can’t detect a mango’s ripeness through colour alone, instead look out for the sweet fragrance, soft feel and a delicious juiciness as you slice.
Ice cream
Mango and frozen treats are a truly refreshing pairing and perfect for summer! Try one of these ice cream recipes and shop for ice cream tubs and popsicle moulds on TheMix Shop.
