MANGO, LIME, AND CHILE GRANITA



Mango, Lime, and Chile Granita image

Categories     Side     Lime     Mango

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups water
2 cups sugar
4 limes, zested and juiced
2 pounds mangoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 tablespoon chile powder

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine the water and sugar. Cook and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup looks clear, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool the syrup by pouring it into a bowl and putting it into the refrigerator or over an ice bath.
  • Put the sugar syrup, lime zest, lime juice, and mango chunks into a blender. Puree until smooth. Pour the mango mixture into a shallow baking pan and freeze for 1 hour. Using a fork or a couple of chopsticks, break up all the ice crystals on the bottom and sides of the pan. This incorporates air so the final product literally melts in your mouth. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours, until the mixture has reached a frozen granular consistency. You can serve it two ways: Either rake the granita with the tines of a fork for a snow-cone-like product or run an ice-cream scooper down the length for a smooth Italian-ice-like result. Spoon it into a wine or martini glass and lightly sprinkle with the chile powder.

OYSTERS WITH CHILE, LIME AND MINT GRANITA



Oysters With Chile, Lime and Mint Granita image

One of two Runner-Up recipes for 1999 in the San Francisco Chronicle. The recipe comes from Le Colonial restaurant in San Francisco. This granita, with its fiery chile, tart lime, pungent mint and fish sauce, gives a decidedly Southeast Asian flavor to the oysters. A spoon of the intensely flavored ice not only keeps the oysters chilled, but as it melts, it creates a delicious sauce that pools in the shells. The granita is best when made the day before serving.

MANGO WITH CHILE-LIME SALT



Mango With Chile-Lime Salt image

This take on the classic street food, served throughout Mexico, is encountered often in open air markets, beaches and parks in summer. The original is often made with tajín spice, a store-bought blend of ground chile, lime and salt. This preparation allows you to use any variety of mango, in states of ripeness from soft and juicy to firm, and the homemade chile-lime salt can be used for a variety of savory or sweet dishes as a garnish or topping. If using store-bought chile-lime salt, substitute the ground chile, lime zest and salt with 2 tablespoons of the seasoning.
