Equipment
- Pot
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 2 mangoes
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- squeeze lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Prepare the mangoes by dicing into small pieces and removing the peel. See above in the post for the 'hedgehog' method of preparing mango.
- Add to your pot along with the sugar. Cook on a gentle heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally as it cooks down. Take off the heat and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer to a food processor and blend to a smooth sauce. This takes about 20 seconds.
- Optional but recommended: if you like a very smooth sauce, you can strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the fibrous aspect of the mango.
Notes
- If lemon or lime juice works for you, a teaspoon can be added to the coulis.
- Stir fairly frequently to help the coulis break down and to prevent it from sticking (or burning) to the bottom of the pot.
- I find that blending in a food processor is quicker and gives a smoother consistency, but if you prefer you can also use an immersion blender.

- mango, which scores 1 and has a ? as a liberator. There is a note, 'to be debated. Is often well tolerated'.
