ADD A SLIGHT BIT OR A LOT OF HEAT:
In the recipe I added only a 1/8 – 1/4 tsp of Red Pepper Flakes.
If you want to step up your game of heat, then add in 1 Thai Chili or Scotch Bonnet or Habanero. Depending on the intensity you like. For me, I added in 1 red Thai Chili and it was so good. Left that tingle but not intensely.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Serve with Rice or Quinoa
Place on or in any protein of choice. Even plant-based cooked beans or chickpeas.
Can be used as a Tortilla Dip, in Taco’s and wraps.
ADD YOUR PROTEIN:
A good plant-based protein would be to add cooked green peas, black beans, pinto beans, or lentils. I have even used cooked chick peas.
Simple cook by draining a can of beans, lentils or chickpeas. Add them to boiling water and simmer for 30 minutes. Rinse again and serve.
DIET:
A MANGO IS:
A Mango has a large oval stone (or seed) in the centre of the fruit, making it tricky to prepare, but once you have learned how to work around the stone the rest is simple. Ensure that the knife you are using is sharp so that it glides easily through the skin of the mango.
HOW TO CHOOSE AND CUT A MANGO:
Ensure that the knife you are using is sharp so that it glides easily through the skin of the mango.
Then begin to cut the fruit off from the large pit in the center.
