More Mango Magnificence
Written by jeremy on May 3, 2008 – 7:47 pm -In addition to doing some political food posting here, I’m also going to be cross-posting some of the recipes that pop up on Lyra, my fiancee’s site, Glutenfreehippie. Since AAF started a mango theme, and Lyra posted this on Thursday….
Cardamom-Glazed Grilled Mango
I love the way this recipe turned out. It’s quick, easy, and incredibly tasty. The slightly-burned sugar gives the mango a really nice caramelized flavour, which compliments the cardamom beautifully. Enjoy!
2 ripe mangoes, skin on, cubed
4 Tb. brown sugar
3 green cardamom pods, shelled and ground
2 Tb. dessicated coconut
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
about 6 skewers, soaked in water
Set your grill to high heat (we use propane) and get it warming up.
Mix all ingredients together (except the mango) in a bowl. Holding on by the skin, dip the mango into the sugar mixture, coating every side. Load the skewers with the crusted mango, and set on the grill. Let it go until it just starts to blacken (about 2 mins), and flip, doing the same with the other side. Serve on a bed of greens and sprinkle with a little pan-toasted coconut.
(Note - this recipe is an entry - not an entree - in this months Royal Foodie Joust, hosted by the Leftover Queen. Highly recommended for all die-hard foodies… and this month’s ingredients include mango.)

Fiancee? Do tell!
And could you beg her to switch to Wordpress? Blogspot makes my computer crash. It’s actually a fairly common problem with it, and she’ll get a lot more traffic if she moves to a more older computer friendly site.
Pretty please again?
Gad, I’m just beside myself that there are smilies here. I would have stayed at dKos if they’d just added smilies.
I wonder if we have the evil smilie?
How’s this? ^^^
omg, I thought you were AAF.
If there were ever a time for a blushing smilie, this would be it.
But this also gives me the chance to say to you, this looks like a truly fab recipe.
I was planning to post again anyway to ask AAF why the link wasn’t on our blogroll (as you may have guessed, I’m on a bit of a toot tonight, due to house hunting). But now that I know you’re not AAF, I’ll pull up one of the browsers on my computer which actually has a somewhat functional java thing and get those links on there.
I’m thrilled to know there’s a foodie joust, btw.
Jeremy, that’s great news, because I’m wheat intolerant and so is biscuit and probably several others of us on here. Gluten free! Yay!
Make him cross-post so my computer won’t crash. You can do it, Kate!
Oh, and do we have the evil smilie? You know - the one with the little devil head grinning evilly?
See above.
I’m dangerous now. I know how to add teh new smilies!
mog l0ls!!
If you ask REAL nice, I’ll post my favorite recipe of the month… Lyra has come up with a gluten-free, dairy-free mac and cheese.
That sounds great. Kate and I would surely appreciate it.
Btw, the Royal Foodie Joust is a goldmine!
A great way to enjoy mango. Trouble is, I want some now, but it’s 4am….
What, no shops open at 4 am in your town?
Now is the time when the true value of the internet comes out… combined with the 3D organic modeling printer. Just click on the picture of the skewers, and it’ll print you out a healthy portion.
Oh, you don’t have your 3D organic modeling printer yet? Pity….
LOL. I’ll copy the pic and print it as a centerfold, and take it to bed with me!
ROBLMAO (rolling on the bed laughing my asinus off)
