Sweet and spicy fruit reduction with a glossy texture

Cooked mango & lime sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Sauces and Gravies
A masterstroke of tropical cuisine is placing fruits in a 'savoury' environment. In this sauce, the natural sugar content of the mango caramelises and thickens, creating a 'gastrique'-like (sugar and vinegar based) consistency, balanced by the acidity of lime and the heat of chilli. Not just sweetness, but a flavour bomb.

Instructions

1 ✓

If using fresh mango, peel, cut flesh from stone, and blend until completely smooth.

Tip: It's worth passing fibrous mango through a sieve for a mirror-smooth result.
2 ✓

Peel and finely grate the ginger. Finely chop the coriander.

Tip: The easiest way to scrape ginger skin off is with the edge of a teaspoon.
3 ✓

In a saucepan, mix the mango puree, lime juice, honey, chilli, grated ginger, soy sauce, and water.

Tip: Mixing ingredients before heating ensures flavours 'cook together' uniformly.
4 ✓

Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes.

Tip: The goal is evaporation (reduction) to concentrate flavours and thicken the sauce.
5 ✓

It is ready when the sauce is glossy, darker yellow, and coats the back of a spoon.

Tip: Pectin and sugar thicken the sauce further as it cools.
6 ✓

Remove from heat. When cooled to lukewarm, stir in the fresh coriander.

Tip: Never boil coriander in, as heat destroys its fresh, citrusy aroma and turns it black.
7 ✓

Taste, and highlight sweet flavours with a pinch of salt.

Tip: Sweet dishes need salt too, so they aren't 'flat'.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use canned mango?
Yes, but drain the juice, as it is often sugared syrup which would make the sauce too sweet.
How spicy is it?
The recipe is mildly piquant. If making for children, leave out the chilli, or put it in whole while cooking then remove.
