Now that the weather is really warming up, it's time to start cooking with spring/summer fruits and veggies. We got things started with some pork chops topped with mango salsa.
Here's my trick for cutting a mango. The seed in the middle is typically pretty wide, but not very thick. So, start by slicing off the sides.
Then, score your two sides into whatever size cubes you like. You don't want to cut all the way through the skin though. Then flip it inside out.
Now, all you have to do is is run your knife through the bottom of your chunks to separate them from the skin. To finish off the salsa, we added some sliced green onion, red onion, cilantro, and some lemon.
Give it a good stir, add a little salt and pepper, and you're good to go! This would also be great with a little cucumber or some avocado, and some jalepeno if you want a little heat.
For the pork chops, we simply seasoned them with salt, pepper, cayenne, and a little grapeseed oil, and stuck them under the broiler for a few minutes on each side. You'll want to keep an eye on them so they don't overcook and become tough. And to finish off the meal, we had a simple salad, lightly dressed with some lemon juice, grapeseed oil, a drop of maple syrup, salt and pepper.
