THROWING DOWN ANOTHER RECIPE WITH OUR FRIENDS AT THE FIREFIGHTER THROWDOWN ! THIS WEEK WE FEATURE A FRUIT THAT IS ALL TOO OFTEN OVERLOOKED WHEN IT COMES TO COOKING, THE MANGO. THIS FRUIT IS PACKED WITH VITAMIN C, ANTIOXIDANTS, POTASSIUM, FIBER AND IS SUPPOSEDLY AN APHRODESIAC. BUT THATS FOR A WHOLE DIFFERENT BLOG. OH AND IT IS ONLY 105 CALORIES PER CUP! THIS GRILLED MANGO SAUCE IS GREAT OVER GRILLED CHICKEN, SHRIMP AND PORK AND WOULD MAKE A KILLER FISH TACO SAUCE!
WHEN FRUIT IS GRILLED, THE NATURAL SUGARS CARAMELIZE AND THE CHAR ADDS A WHOLE NEW SMOKY DIMENSION OF FLAVOR.
Makes roughly 1 cup
INGREDIENTS:
1 RIPE MANGO, peeled and halved (cut around the pit)
2 TBS. WHITE VINEGAR
1 TBS. MAYO
SALT TO TASTE
PROCEDURE:
Preheat grill to high heat.
Oil grates and place mango on the grill. Grill for a few minutes or when their is nice color on the fruit, flip and grill a minute or two more.
Place the mango and the rest of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
THIS SAUCE WAS PERFECT OVER A GRILLED CHICKEN BURRITO BOWL WITH PICKLED RED ONIONS, CHIPOTLE BEANS AND RICE.
