![]() Mangos are such a fun fruit to add to your meal times. AND it's nutritional benefits can not be overstated: FULL of antioxidants for cancer prevention, high levels of fiber, pectin and vitamin C to help lower cholesterol levels (especially the those naughty LDLs), encourages healthy skin, high levels of Vitamin A for your eyes, Has an alkalyzing effect on the body, great source of Vitamin E, enzymes to boost digestion, along with the generous amounts of vitamins A and C it contains 25 different carotenoids to help maintain a strong and healthy immune system and fight inflammation. That is why this week our recipe for Saucy Saturday is a Mango Chutney (or salsa or relish, whatever you might want to call it). This versatile condiment can be tailored to fit many cuisines, for instance add a jalapeno and cilantro and you get a latin flavor. Put in a little ginger and basil and it goes well with grilled thai satay. Tailor to your to your tastes, spicy or mild and hot or chilled. You can cook it briefly or eat it raw. Yummy. Recently we served it with a Jerk rubbed pork tenderloin, brown rice with lime zest and yogurt and lime based cole slaw... it was so good!
