Maggie's Mango Recipes
Look at our Slide Show!
Nourishment comes in many ways. Through the warmth of the sun, the richness of the earth, clean air, pure water, and healthy food, we are given the manna for physical energy and spiritual attunement.
Mangos are a comfort food and they really can make you feel better! Sensuous and very sexy, they also are delicious and rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, mangos contain an enzyme that acts as a digestive aid and is partially responsible for that feeling of contentment we experience during and after our daily mango ritual. An average sized mango contains up to 40% of your daily fiber requirement. Deliciously rich in anti-oxidants, potassium and fiber - the mango is the perfect fruit!

Maggie's Mango Chimichurri

2 fresh ripe mangos, peeled and diced

One small ripe papaya, cubed

One small spicy pepper of your choice, diced

One small purple onion, diced

Juice of one lime

Salt to taste

A dash of cumin

A dash of sugar

Prepare all ingredients. The easiest way to cut up a mango is to cut pieces off close to the seed with the peel on, score the mango as close to the skin as possible without cutting the skin, then flip the skin inside out and the cubes of mango fall off the skin. Mix mango with all ingredients and let this stand for several hours or overnight in the frig. Serve under seared tuna with steamed spinach and roasted pumpkin or winter squash slices.

 

Maggie’s Magnificent Mango Chutney

Six almost ripe mangos

½ cup golden raisins

1 tart apple, peeled and diced or and you can use a cup of fresh rhubarb

1 small hot pepper…not too hot, but spicy hot

2 teaspoons sugar

A dash salt 

1 teaspoon cumin  

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper 

2 small cloves or 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup apple cider

Place all ingredients in medium pan and bring to a very slow boil…simmer for 10 minutes and then remove to a glass bowl or jar and let cool…serve with roasted pork or bake with chicken.

 

Maggie's Green Mango with Lime

This is a Central American favorite and takes a bit of getting used to but is wonderful served with black beans and rice. The lime cooks the mango. Take 4 green mangoes, sliced thinly from the seed and not peeled…slice the mango away from the seed and then julienne the chunks of mango. Drizzle with the juice of six limes and a teaspoon of salt…let this sit for at least 2 hours, stirring frequently. Serve as a side dish with traditional black beans and rice… also good frozen and eaten when the temperature is tropical!

 

Maggie's Jasmine Rice and Mango

Make one or 2 cups of your favorite Jasmine rice and while it is hot sir in a teaspoon of butter and one or 2 diced mangoes…stir this well and serve, the mango becomes a bit mushy as the juices are released, the rice becomes orange and exotic flavored.

Maggie’s Magical Mango Elixir

Two ripe mangoes diced as follows: take a knife and go as close to the inner mango seed as possible, slicing off large pieces of mango. Take each large piece and dice the mango with the skin on as close to the peel as possible without cutting into the peel. Turn the peel inside out and drop the dices of mango into your favorite juicer* … along with a 2-3 inch long piece of fresh aloe, peeled, one chunk of fresh ginger (you can use more ginger for a bigger blast), and several pieces of pineapple or a small fresh mandarin orange. Juice all this together and savor the health.

*At Todo es Dios we like the Breville juicer. It is efficient and has a large capacity pitcher with a strainer that really gives a high quality juice, and the motor has 2 speeds for different textures of fruits or veggies.

 

 

Maggie’s Tropical Delight Salad Dressing

1/3 cup of oil, either olive or lighter, if olive is used, use a very light one

Juice of 2 sweet oranges

4 Tablespoons sesame tahini

Juice of one small lime

1 Tablespoon mango honey or orange blossom honey

Dash of salt

Dash of pepper

You can also add a mashed roasted red pepper to this to kick it up a bit or even a Scotch bonnet if you like HOT. Place all ingredients in a jar and shake well. This is delightful on a veggie salad or on a fruit salad. Enjoy!
