Mango on a Stick
- 4 ripe mangoes
- 4 limes
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons salt
- Special equipment: 4 pairs wooden chopsticks, still attached, or sturdy candy sticks
- Holding the mango vertically, stem end down, push chopsticks carefully but firmly upward right into the pit or as close to the pit as possible.
- Peel the mango, using the chopsticks to sturdy your grip.
- Working from bottom to top starting at the mango's midpoint; make 3 cuts into the flesh at a slight downward angle almost to the pit, being careful to keep the petals attached to the pit at their base.
- Gently bend each cut-away from the pit as if opening a petal.
- Rotate the mango about 60 degrees.
- Repeat process until the entire mango has been cut to look like a flower.
- Repeat with remaining mangos.
- Squeeze lime juice over mangoes and sprinkle with equal amounts chili powder and salt before serving
