How To Prepare/Cut Your Mango
Peeling Mangoes: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin of the mango, ensuring minimal waste. After peeling, slice the mango on either side of its pit and then dice or slice it as needed.
Cutting Mangoes: Hold the mango on its side with one of the pointed ends facing you, then slice downwards to remove one of the cheeks. Repeat on the other side. Score the flesh in a diagonal pattern, turn it over, and push on the skin to release the mango chunks. Cut the cubes away from the skin with a knife.
Slicing Mangoes: Use a serrated knife for more control when cutting mangoes, guiding the knife around the pit in the middle. Score the mango flesh in a criss-cross pattern, then push the skin to release the chunks. Cut the cubes away from the skin with a knife.
Jamie Oliver’s Method: Jamie Oliver suggests cutting a mango by putting it on its flat side, slicing around the oval-shaped pit, and then removing the skin. You can either slice or dice the mango. Another method involves using a sturdy glass to push the flesh off the skin, then slicing or dicing the mango as desired.
How do I choose a ripe mango?
When choosing a ripe mango, look for fruit that is heavy for its size. The flesh should give slightly when gently squeezed. Ripe yellow-skinned mangoes may show wrinkles, which is a sign of supreme sweetness and readiness to be cut immediately
Can I freeze mangoes?
Yes, you can freeze mangoes for up to 6 months. To freeze mangoes, wash, slice, and dice ripe mangoes. Arrange the slices on a flat baking sheet, cover them with plastic wrap, and place them in the freezer.
Once the mango slices are frozen, store them in an airtight, sealed container or freezer bag. You can also puree mango in a food processor or blender, pour it into an airtight, sealed container, and place it in the freezer
How do I use mangoes in savory dishes?
Mangoes can be used in savory dishes such as curries, stews, and salads. They pair well with spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili. You can also use mangoes in marinades for meats or as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
