Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 1 mango(s), ripe (must be ripe!)

• Pepper, coarse, from the mill

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Perfect as a side dish to fine fish

Peel the mango, remove the core, and cut into 0.5 to 1 cm cubes. Quarter or halve the cherry tomatoes depending on their size and remove the seeds. Finely chop the shallots and finely slice the basil leaves. Sauté the shallots and mango cubes in olive oil for 3-5 minutes, reduce the heat, add the tomatoes and basil, season with freshly ground pepper, add the chili peppers (whole or crushed) and sauté for another 3 minutes, seasoning with salt if desired. If desired, add a little ground star anise and/or crushed ginger root. I like to experiment with Indian spices—but be careful, as some can be quite intense. This is a spontaneous creation of mine.
