Coincidentally, with Ann Vanderhoof’s arrival on Bequia, our mango tree has suddenly become over-productive and we have mangoes, in various stages of ripeness, everywhere, including squashed and/or half-eaten on the driveway and road below. Here are some, still on the tree:

I’m blending up the ripe ones every day in smoothies, have created a wonderful mango sauce for ladling over gingerbread (see What’s Cooking? for photo), and am thinking up a way of layering them with brie and pepper jelly to be served with cracker bread on board Receta this afternoon. We’ve been invited out to the boat for sunset drinks. The other day I researched recipes for green mangoes on the internet and came up with the following that I either want to try or work with to concoct my own versions:
Mango Pickle
Mango-Green Tea Sorbet
Fish Curry with Green Mango
Lime and Chili Prawn and Green Mango Salad
Thai Green Mango Salad
Chicken in Green Mango
Curry and Mango Soup
and
Green Mango Chutney

So we have some tasty work ahead of us at The View. Anyone want to volunteer to be a recipe tester?
