Mango Recipes You Need to Try!

Here’s how to make the most of one mango. You’ll be amazed at how far a single fruit can go!

1. Salt and Chilli Mango Cheeks 🌶️

This is a quick and easy snack that’s perfect when you’re in the mood for something light but flavour-packed. Simply slice the mango cheek off, sprinkle with a touch of flaky sea salt and a pinch of chilli powder. The sweet, salty, and spicy combo will have your taste buds dancing!

📝 Serving tip: Serve it as an afternoon treat or toss it into a salad for a spicy twist.

2. Mango Salsa for Grilled Chicken or Fish 🐟

This fresh mango salsa is perfect for BBQ nights or a breezy alfresco lunch. Dice one mango, half a red onion, and half a red chilli. Add a handful of chopped coriander and a squeeze of lime, and you’ve got yourself a zesty salsa. 😍

🔥 Tip: Use it as a topping for grilled chicken breasts or white fish. One mango is enough to serve up to 4 people, making it both budget-friendly and absolutely mouth-watering. 🍗

3. Mango, Ham, and Cheese Toastie 🥪

Trust me on this — a mango toastie is next-level. Layer ham, sliced mango, and cheddar cheese between two slices of sourdough. Butter the outside of the bread and toast until golden brown. The mango melts into the cheese, creating a sweet and savoury masterpiece that’ll change the way you think about sandwiches. 🍞🧀

Got leftover mango? No worries! Store cut mango in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you’ve gone mango-mad and bought more than you can eat, peel and dice the extra fruit, pop it into a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 6 months. Frozen mango chunks are perfect for smoothies and desserts, and they’re a great way to keep the essence of your mango recipes alive even when they are out of season.

A ripe mango will feel slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma near the stem. If it’s rock-hard, let it ripen at room temperature for a few days.

Absolutely! While ripe mango is sweet, underripe mango has a tangy flavour that works well in salads or pickles.

The best way is to slice the “cheeks” off each side of the stone. Then, score a grid pattern on the cheek and flip it inside out — this makes it easy to scoop out the cubes!
