Mango Chow
Trinidad and Tobago green-mango snack sharpened with lime, chilli, garlic and vinegar.
About Mango Chow
Mango chow is a fiery fruit snack associated with Trinidad and Tobago. This profile follows Marie Mitchell's green-mango version and fixes lime from her lemon-or-lime choice.
Tart green mango and lime give the snack a bright sour edge, sharpened by garlic, shallot and white wine vinegar. Scotch bonnet brings fruity heat while coriander adds a fresh herbal note.
Thin green-mango slices remain firm and juicy, flecked with green coriander and red or orange chilli. The dressing is light and glossy rather than saucy.
