GRILLED MANGO WITH LIME, SALT AND ANCHO POWDER
Go to Mexico and you will find vendors, either with carts in the city or baskets on the beaches, selling cups of fresh fruit and vegetables served up with a squeeze of lime, a sprinkling of salt and a dash of chile powder. The combination may seem odd at first to the North American palate but the combination of sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavors is addictive. Grilling the mango intensifies its natural honeyed sweetness, adding another dimension to an already simple but powerful play of flavors.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium for direct grilling. Slice the mangoes in 2 pieces from the pit. Score the flesh of the mangoes in a diamond pattern, taking care not to cut into the skin. Pop the flesh by holding the skin side and pushing up. Brush the flesh with the oil and grill, cut-side down, until slightly charred, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the mangoes to a platter and immediately drizzle with the lime juice and sprinkle with the salt, chile powder and lime zest. Garnish with cilantro leaves if desired.

Steps:
- Have the oven broiler on or a grill heated to medium-high.
- Peel the mangoes with a paring knife. One at a time, set each mango on its side on a cutting board and cut the flesh away from the large flat seed in the center. Place the largest 2 pieces from each mango in a medium bowl (set the rest of the flesh aside for another use).
- Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat and cook until it turns nut brown. Add the Toasted Spice Rub and salt. Remove the skillet from the heat. Pour or brush the butter mixture over the mangoes and toss well to coat them.
- Grill the mango slices (only on the flat, cut side) over medium-high heat until nicely marked, 3 to 5 minutes.
- While mangoes are grilling, cut the blue cheese into 1-inch pieces.
- Remove the mango slices from the grill and spread them on a baking sheet, with the grilled sides facing up. Divide the cheese on top of the mango slices.
- Place under the broiler for 30 seconds to weep the cheese (optional step). Be careful not to get the mango too hot. Arrange on a platter or individual plates.
- In a heat-proof bowl, warm the honey briefly in the microwave and drizzle over the top. Serve warm.
- 1/4 cup fennel seeds
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon peppercorns
- 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup pure California chili powder
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- Toast the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a small, heavy pan over medium heat. When the fennel turns light brown, work quickly. Turn on the exhaust fan; add the red pepper flakes, and toss, toss, toss, always under the fan. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool. Put in a blender with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground. If you have a small spice mill or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients.
- Toasting freshens spices, releases their oils, and makes them more fragrant, as well as adding a new dimension of flavor. Keep the spice mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
- Taste your chili powder and, if spicy and hot, cut back the amount. California chiles are almost sweet, not hot.
- Yield: about 1 cup

GRILLED MANGOES AND CHEDDAR
Yield 24 Hors d'oeuvre
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Prepare grill for cooking. One at a time set each mango on its side on a cutting board, and cut the flesh away from either side of the large flat seed in the center. Place these 2 large pieces from each mango in a bowl (cut away the remaining flesh and reserve for another use). Melt the butter in a small skillet over moderate heat and cook, without stirring until it turns nut brown, 3 to 4 min. Add salt and pepper, and remove skillet from heat. Pour butter mixture over mangoes and toss to coat evenly. Grill the mango pieces, flat sides down, until nicely marked, 3 to 5 min. Cut each piece in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 1/4inch thick slices. Reserve 1/4 of the slices for garnish. Arrange mango on crackers on a baking sheet. Top with Cheddar cheese and place under broiler until cheese just begins to melt, about 1 to 2 min. Drizzle warm honey over the cheese. Squeeze juice of 1/2 lime over the top. Cut remaining limes into wedges and arrange them around the platter with the reserved mango slices. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose ripe mangoes: Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Avoid mangoes that are too firm or have green skin, as they may not be ripe enough.
- Use a sharp grill: A sharp grill will help to prevent the mangoes from sticking and will create beautiful grill marks.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: Leave some space between the mango slices so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the mangoes until they are slightly charred: This will give them a slightly smoky flavor and make them more tender.
- Serve the mangoes immediately: Grilled mangoes are best served hot off the grill. You can top them with cheese, salsa, or a drizzle of honey.
Conclusion:
Grilled mangoes are a delicious and easy side dish or snack. They are perfect for summer cookouts and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their sweet and smoky flavor, grilled mangoes are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
