Mango, Chilli and Herb Marinade RecipeOrigin: Senegal Period: Traditional |
|
This is a marinade I learnt about on a recent trip to Senegal. It's typically used for fish steaks but also works well for any kind of white meat. Ingredients:
1 large, ripe, mango, peeled and chopped
Mango, Chilli and Herb Marinade Preparation:Method:Combine the chillies, garlic and onion in a pestle and mortar and pound to a smooth paste. Add the salt, black pepper, Maggi cube and herbs then pound in to combine. Now add the mango and lime zest and pound in. Finally add the lime juice and just enough water to give the mixture a pourable consistency. This mixture is typically rubbed into and then poured over fish steaks which are marinated for 1 hour and grilled on a barbecue. But it works just as well for fish fillets, diced fish or diced white meats. The remaining marinade also makes an excellent sauce or dip. Simply turn into a pan, whisk in about 1 tbsp arrowroot or cornflour until smooth, bring to a simmer and cook until thickened. Turn into a bowl, allow to cool and serve. |
