Directions

Step 1

Peel and pit the mangoes, then dice the flesh. Set aside half for garnishing.

In a blender, combine one and a half diced mangoes, lime juice, honey, olive oil, peeled garlic cloves, grated ginger, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.

In the same pan, add the blended mango sauce and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Combine cornstarch with water to make a slurry and add to the sauce, stirring until it thickens slightly.
