Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 large just-ripe mango, washed then peeled with a vegetable peeler
  • 50 g fresh coriander leaves, washed and snipped with a pair of scissors
  • 25 g fresh mint leaves, washed and snipped with a pair of scissors
  • 1 - 2 peeled garlic cloves
  • 1 small green chili pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • Caster sugar, to taste
  • Optional: Sliced/shredded iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  1. Slice the mango thinly and then julienne. Gnaw on the stone like a baby with a bone. If you're Nigerian.
  2. Using a mortar and pestle or in a food processor, make a paste of the coriander and mint leaves, garlic cloves, green chilli, salt and sugar. Taste the paste and adjust flavours - it should be sweet, slightly salty with a touch of green heat.
  3. Stir the paste into the mango julienne. Check and adjust seasoning again with more sugar and salt. Refrigerate and serve with meats, or as a salad, piled on top of the shredded lettuce, if using and with a garnish of tomato quarters
