[Headless Chicken]

Mangos are in season and my grandmother has been buying me boxes and boxes full of them. The only mango recipe I have is a mango mousse but my family has been getting tired of it and truthfully, I'm getting tired of making it. Any suggestions on what else I can make with them, they're the Mexican yellow mangos. The only thing is that the item must not be overly sweet or rich. My family is asian so my hands are tied down a bit because of that. Any help/suggestion would be much appreciated.

If you're that rich with them, mango nectar and mango sorbet.

My mom used to buy them by the bushel. She'd peel them and strip them off the pit, then put the flesh in the freezer. When I'd visit her in December, I'd head straight for those bags of mango! They freeze well, although I don't think they'd be pretty enough to dice into a salad- more for juicy things like sauces, pulp for cakes, etc.

Stuff a duck or chicken breast with slices of mango.
Serve with a Mango Raspberry Coulis =1 mango, diced+1 cup raspberries+maybe some lemon zest, a little wine and puree. Bring to heat in the pan used to cook chicken or duck, adjust seasoning with some s&p. Simple and satisfying.

Or a Mango Cocktail sauce for boiled shrimp.

I think the new Gormet mag has a section on mangos this month too.

How about a mango-lemon grass sauce for fish? I sweat some shallots and ginger, add white wine. Reduce as you would a butter sauce. Then add peeled and pitted mango. I then barely cover with a mixture of pineapple and orange juices and cook until tender. Just minutes before removing from the heat I add a bunch of chopped lemongrass, let it steep for a few minutes, then puree and strain the sauce.

I also like to fold diced mango and jalapenos into cooked jasmine rice and use as a bed for shrimp.

There is also an Indian mango soup called "Fajeto". It's very yummy. Can't remember the recipe now but you can surely find it online (or ask Suvir Saran)

If you can find a recipe for Indian butter chicken, then ripe mango is lovely in it. Otherwise, take ghee and onion and lots of lovely curry spices, fry, and then add chicken pieces or thigh/breast meat and cook. Add thin mango slices or diced mango when the meat is tender and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning if necessary. You might find it also benefits from the addition of a little tomato or tomato puree.

I just made the most amazing Mango and Coconut tart from Pierre Herme's Desserts. DELICIOUS...
