    Things to do with mangoes

    We just bought 16 mangoes for $10! I've got an alcohol sorbet type recipe, and we're also gonna make some icy poles, but I was wondering if anyone else has mango recipes, pref savory?

    Mango salsa apparently goes really well with salads and lamb.

    Cut mango in a salad. Or put it in sweet style stir fries.

    Not savoury but I can't beat mango cheesecake...

    You can always peel and slice and freeze mango for another day. Good for smoothies!

    I like mango cheeks cut like you're going to cut off the dice (you know in the criss cross pattern?), sprinkled with brown sugar and them BBQed cut side down.....awesome with BBQed salmon.

    Mango & prawn salad! Yummo. Or, I freeze lemonade into ice cubes so that I can throw them into a blender with mango and blitz it until it is smooth. Delicious.

    When I was 41 weeks pregnant, my mum and I bought a tray and made 8 jars of mango chutney, just for something to do!

    It went something like this (quantities are unknown)

    Get a big pot. Chuck in all your diced mango. Add vinegar, sugar, lemongrass, basil and chilli. Boil for some time. Put it in jars while it's still hot and screw the lids on to vacuum seal.

    I gave most of it way, but I have one jar in the fridge and it's still good. Over cream cheese it makes an amazing dip; also, mix with chopped sweet potato and wrap in puff pastry for super impressive tangy vegie puffs.

    Slice them up and freeze them for when mangoes aren't in season

    Or do things with them that belong in the AO thread

    I'm with Cherished, inhale the things!! oh baby they are goooood!!

    or you can even name your dog after them (our family dog was called Mango, cause really, I love them so much =P and he looked like one when he was a puppy..)

    but, I love just eating them, puting them in the fridge and have them cold with icecream, or even frozen yogurt, I LOVE chewing on the seed after too, yea it gets stuck in your teeth and I have to have a shower after i enjoy one (cause i'm a grub) but sooooo damn good!!! mmm

    Fry up some onion, garlic & cumin. Add chicken. Add pureed mango & a little mango nectar or a small amt of OJ. Once all cooked, add some cream or if you are trying to be a bit healthy, some evaporated milk. Serve over rice.

    Shove a skewer into a peeled mango cheek. Dip in molten chocolate. Put in freezer.

    Mango daiquiris!!!!!!! Mmmmmmmmmm...

    we had a massive mango tree in the garden of our rental house a few years ago, oh my did we have alot of mangos. we gave SO many away, the bats ate alot but we still had mangos coming out of our hohas!
    Mango pancakes were DD1s fave, make pancake mix, chop up mango...et voila.
    dh made a few fish with mango salsa type things. or in salads. but that the only savory things we tried.
    Daiquiris...christmas day daiquiris...happy days!!
    Mango cake was pretty yum!
    In the end i was freezing them and they do freeze quite well, either mashed, cubed or in slices and then you can use them for....something?
    bit of sugar and BBQ them, good desert for when you have a bbq with people over.
    icey poles.
