Trinidad Green Mango Chow

Tart green mango tossed with garlic, lime, culantro and Scotch bonnet for a sharp, spicy snack.

  • Serves 6
  • Active 15 min
  • Total 25 min
  • Salads
  • Appetizers

Ingredients

  • 3 green mangoes, peeled
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped culantro or cilantro
  • ½ Scotch bonnet pepper, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method

  1. Slice the firm mango flesh into thin wedges or strips, discarding the seeds.
  2. Toss with the garlic, culantro, Scotch bonnet, lime juice, salt and pepper.
  3. Let stand 10 minutes so the mango softens slightly and soaks up the seasoning.
  4. Serve cold as a snack or as a bright side with grilled fish.

Notes

Pineapple, cucumber or half-ripe mango all make good chow the same way.
