Green Mango Salad With Meat Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the coconut in one layer on a small baking sheet or toaster-oven tray and bake, tossing frequently, until the coconut is crunchy and golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Mix the shrimp paste, lime juice, chile and salt in a large bowl. Add the mango and toss (ideally with gloved hands) until it's well coated in the mixture. Season to taste with additional salt and lime juice, then sprinkle the coconut and fried shallots on top. Eat!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar until sugar dissolves. Add mangoes, scallions, cilantro, and mint and toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar as desired. Top with chopped peanuts and red-pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Soak 1/2 thinly sliced small white onion in ice water, 15 minutes; drain and pat dry. Whisk 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon honey in a large bowl; whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1/2 head chopped green-leaf lettuce, 1 diced mango, 1/2 diced English cucumber and the onion; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 diced avocado and toss.

Steps:

• Skin the smoked mackerel fillets and break the meat into small flakes. Pour the oil into a frying pan to a depth of 2cm and heat to 190C (or until a small piece of bread browns in 20 secs). Sprinkle the fish pieces into the oil and deep-fry for 1 min or until crispy. It will probably all stick together at this point, but don't worry. Lift the fish out onto lots of kitchen paper, leave to cool, then break up into pieces again.
• Peel the mango and carrot, then shred both (using a mandolin or shredder) into strips. Put the mango, carrot, shallots, chilli, peanuts and fish pieces in a large bowl and toss together. Mix the sugar with the fish sauce and lime juice (you can add more or less than 1 tbsp, depending on the tartness of the mango). Add to the salad with the Thai basil and toss together again. Pile into the centre of two medium-sized plates - or four small plates if serving as a starter - and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix together the lime juice, chilli, fish sauce and sugar in a large bowl. Add the shallots and three quarters of the peanuts and mix well. Cover and set aside for up to 4 hours.
• Peel and coarsely grate the mango or apple, and stir into the mixture along with the mint. Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok, add the prawns and stir fry quickly until evenly pink - about 2 minutes.
• Scatter the lettuce leaves on a serving plate and spoon the salad mixture in the centre. Surround with the prawns and scatter over the remaining peanuts and spring onions.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil over a high heat and cook the green beans for 2 mins until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water to halt the cooking process and retain the vibrant colour. Pat dry with kitchen paper and set aside.
• Halve the passion fruits, scoop the pulp into a small pan and bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 mins until the pulp has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and press the pulp through a sieve into a small bowl, discarding the seeds.
• Whisk 1 tbsp honey into the passion fruit purée, followed by the oil, ginger, chilli and lime juice. Season and taste - you might need to add a little more honey or lime juice. Aim for a balance of sweet, tart and acidic.
• Slice down through the mangoes along both sides of the stone so you end up with two 'cheeks'. Using a tablespoon, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into 3cm chunks. Scrape and roughly chop any fleshy bits from the stones.
• Transfer the mango flesh to a shallow serving dish, drizzle with 3 tbsp of the dressing, then gently spoon over the green beans. Stir the coriander into the remaining dressing and pour it over the beans, then scatter with mint and serve.

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl.
• Toss with vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Toss the mango pieces with the salt and lime juice and set aside. Put the oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the garlic, shallots, and chiles and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the meat and pepper to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it loses its pinkness. Stir in the nam pla and sugar and cook for 1 minute more. Drain any excess oil from the pan, then add the beef mixture to the mangoes. Mix well, garnish with the peanuts and cilantro, and serve.
• Substitute 1 small smoked trout, skinned, boned, and broken into 1/2-inch pieces (it will fall apart as you handle it), for the meat. Proceed as directed, cooking the trout only long enough to heat it through.
