Spiced Simple Mango Slaw
- 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
- Optional: Quartered cherry tomatoes, to garnish
- Slice the mango thinly and then julienne. Gnaw on the stone like a baby with a bone. If you're Nigerian.
- 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.
- 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
