Ingredients




1 Ripe mango

Preparation

1 This method of cutting a mango is called "hedgehog" because it produces diamond-shaped spikes of mango that stick out like the spines of a hedgehog. 2 Slice the top and bottom off the fruit, getting as close to the flat seed as possible. Using a sharp knife, cut a cross-hatch or tick-tack-toe pattern in the flesh, to, but not through, the skin. Holding the edges in your hands, press the skin with your thumbs to turn the slice inside out. 3 Bite-sized chunks of fruit will extend from the skin, ready to be scooped up with a spoon. Don't forget to trim any remaining flesh off the seed with a paring knife.
