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.

- Standing mango upright, cut two lengthwise slices, each about 1/2 inch thick, from a broad side of mango pit. Cut remaining broad side and remaining mangoes in same manner. (There should be a total of 12 slices, 6 of them end pieces.) Discard pits and reserve any remaining mango for another use.
- Prepare grill.
- Working with end pieces only, score flesh in a cross-hatch pattern, being careful not to cut through skin, and grill, cut side down, on a well-oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden brown, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, mango may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat in same manner.) Transfer mango as grilled to a platter. When end pieces of mango are cool enough to handle, push from skin side to turn inside out. Grill remaining mango slices about 2 minutes on each side.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium-high.
- Lightly coat the mango slices and onion discs in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place mango slices on a medium high grill approximately 2 minutes on each side. Grill onions approximately 2 to 4 minutes on each side, being careful to turn only once (this will help keep them together and avoid pieces falling through the grill). When mangos have nice grill marks after a couple minutes on each side, remove from grill. Once onions have slightly charred, but still retain moderate firmness, remove from grill.
- Chop the mango and onion and place in large mixing bowl. Combine all of the above ingredients including juice of lime and orange and add salt and pepper to taste. In the mixing process a large amount of juice will gather at the bottom of the bowl. I recommend draining the juice, and placing the salsa in a refrigerator, covered for approximately 20 minutes. Then, use the salsa on top of grilled fish or serve as a side dish.
SIMPLE GRILLED MANGOS
I have yet to try this myself, but I have enjoyed other fruits made this way so why not mangos! I think these would be nice in a salad, in salsa or just served as-is after a meal.

- Brush the mango slices with melted margarine/butter and grill until slightly charred (2-3 mnutes), turning once.
- Place the mangos in a bowl, add the syrup, cover and let cool.
- When ready to serve, cut the mango into bite-sized chunks or whatever size you need.
GRILLED MANGO SALSA
A mango's rich flavor is deepened through grilling in this salsa full of contrasts. It also works if you do not want to grill the mango. I love mango salsa whether or not the mango is grilled, so if you don't feel like grilling, you can still get a great salsa with these ingredients. Grilling, whether on an outdoor grill, a griddle or a grill pan, deepens the flavor of an already-rich-tasting fruit. I love the contrasts in this salsa: the crisp jicama with the soft, juicy mango; the sweet fruit; the spicy chile; and the grassy cilantro. Serve with fish or chicken.

Steps:
- Prepare a medium-hot grill. Cut mango down flat sides of the seed to get 2 large flat pieces. Brush exposed surface lightly with oil and place on grill. Grill for about 6 minutes, until light grill marks appear. Remove from heat. With the tip of a paring nife, cut thin slices down to the skin but not through it, then cut a herringbone pattern across the slices. Push on the skin side so the cut mango pops out, then cut away the dice from the skin. Cut dice smaller if they are larger than 1/2 inch. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients to bowl and toss together. Allow to sit for 15 to 30 minutes so flavors will ripen.

Tips:
- Choose ripe mangoes: Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Avoid mangoes that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes.
- Prepare the mangoes properly: Wash the mangoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut the mangoes in half lengthwise and remove the pit. You can also peel the mangoes if desired.
- Use a hot grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the mangoes. This will help to create grill marks and caramelize the natural sugars in the fruit.
- Oil the mangoes: Brush the mangoes with olive oil or melted butter to help prevent them from sticking to the grill. You can also sprinkle the mangoes with salt, pepper, or other seasonings before grilling.
- Grill the mangoes for a few minutes per side: Cook the mangoes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and tender. Be careful not to overcook the mangoes, as they can easily become mushy.
- Serve the mangoes immediately: Grilled mangoes can be served on their own as a side dish or dessert. They can also be used in salads, tacos, or other dishes.
Conclusion:
Grilling mangoes is a quick and easy way to enjoy this delicious fruit. Grilled mangoes have a slightly smoky flavor and caramelized sweetness that is perfect for summer cookouts. With just a few simple ingredients and a hot grill, you can create a delicious and healthy side dish or dessert that everyone will love.
