Grilled Mango in Ginger Syrup

 

 

2/3 cup sugar

5 cm (2 " ) piece fresh ginger, peeled, thinly sliced

1 fresh small red chilli, halved lengthwise

2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest

4 teaspoons lime juice

4 ripe mangoes

 

4 scoops vegan mango -OR- passionfruit ice-cream, to serve

 

 

1. Stir 1/2 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water, ginger and chilli in a small

saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves and mixture boils. Reduce

heat; simmer for 5 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly. Remove

from heat. Stir in zest and juice.

 

2. Preheat a char-grill pan over high heat. Using a small sharp knife,

remove cheeks from mangoes. Sprinkle cut sides of mango

with remaining sugar. Grill mango, cut side down, for 5 minutes or

until brown.

 

3 To serve, arrange mango on plates; drizzle with syrup. Serve at once

with ice-cream.

 

 

 

BUDGET TIP: Serve leftover syrup on banana pancakes.

 

VARIATION: Instead of mango, use pineapple if you like.
