Default Golden Mango Gazpacho

Golden Mango Gazpacho

Cool, sweet mango blended with tart lime and just a touch of "heat". I've
described the flavor of this as being like a lover's kiss. Sweet and soft at
first with a bit of strength after a few moments then a tingly feeling when
it's done. Perfect for that summer afternoon gathering.

Recipe By: Pete Romfh
Serving Size: 12
Cuisine: American
Main Ingredient: Mango

-= Ingredients =-
2 cups mango chunks ; (or mango pulp)
1/2 cup Fresh mango ; (1/2" dice)
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup pineapple ; (1/2" dice)
1/2 cup melon ; (any variety) (1/2" dice)
1/2 cup pear ; (1/2" dice)
1/2 cup papaya ; (1/2" dice)
6 mint leaves ; chopped + additional leaves (garnish)
1/2 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce ; - To taste
1 large Lime ; -Juice (or 2 Key limes)
1/4 cup Crystallized Ginger ; (finely diced) or shredded ginger

-= Instructions =-
In blender, combine mango chunks and orange juice and puree. Pour through
sieve into large bowl. Discard pulp.

Combine mango, pineapple, melon, and papaya dice (reserving a little for
garnish), and mint in bowl with mango puree. Season to taste with lime juice
and hot-pepper sauce. You want a balance of sweet, tart, and hot with no one
flavor being dominant. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Mix the crystallized
ginger with the reserved fruit dice. Serve cold in chilled bowls garnished
with mint leaves and reserved fruit dice. You might also sprinkle the dice
lightly with Mexican snack powder called "Acidito". It's a chile, salt, and
citric acid mixture that's delicious on a number of fruit dishes.


Prep Time: 20 minutes Chilling Time: 30 minutes
Adapted from Prevention Magazine, June, 05

NOTE:
There is some flexibility in the choice of fruits for the dice. I've used
pears, peaches, tart apples, cucumber, red bell pepper, and cilantro in
various version of this.

You can find canned mango pulp in the Indian section and save some time on
this recipe. One 30 oz. can makes about two batches. Or make a batch of
this and use the other half to make Mango Margaritas.

Hi Pete

(Obviously I found the group.)

Love the description of the Gazpacho. You should write romantic novels, or
at least greeting card fillers!
