Magic happens when mangoes meet winter citrus
I am lucky to live in California, a place where citrus literally falls off trees in winter and brightens our rain soak days. Our grocery stores and farmers markets are brimming with a variety of brightly hued choices and my neighbors give me buckets of Meyer lemons, mandarins, oranges as well as a cluster of other varieties. So we may have went a little crazy in the Crespo Organic Kitchen the last few weeks creating recipes with these offerings. Mangoes compliment citrus perfectly by balancing with sweetness, eliminating the need for excess sugar. The perfumed nature of ripe mangoes balances the deep rich flavor of citrus peels. We are quite pleases with these recipes and think we offer something for everyone – sweet and savory. Its a celebration of the magic that occurs when mangoes are paired with citrus!
