Mango And Blackberry Salad With Mozzarella And Frisee Recipes

MANGO AND BLACKBERRY SALAD WITH MOZZARELLA AND FRISEE

Steps:

• Make the syrup: Bring Lillet, vinegar, and honey to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, and add cardamom pods. Let stand, covered, until completely cooled. Strain syrup through a fine sieve; discard solids.
• Meanwhile, make the croutons: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry bread, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes; transfer to paper-towel-lined plates using a slotted spoon. Let croutons drain. Sprinkle with salt.
• Make the salad: Divide frisee evenly among 4 plates. Top with half the cheese, then half the mangoes. Repeat with remaining cheese and mango. Layer onion, blackberries, and then croutons on top.
• Drizzle 1/4 cup cardamom syrup over tops, allowing it to pool at the bottom. Season with salt and pepper.

MOZZARELLA, MANGO & SERRANO HAM SALAD

Steps:

• To make the dressing, whisk the olive oil, sweet chilli sauce, chopped basil leaves and 1 tbsp of the lemon or lime juice together with a sprinkling of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Alternatively, if you prefer a smoother, green-coloured dressing, you can whizz the dressing ingredients in a small blender. Either way, taste and then add more lemon or lime juice or seasoning if you want.
• To prepare the salad, peel the mangoes and carefully slice off each fleshy side close to the stone. Slice the mango flesh lengthways into thin strips. Don't throw the stones away, the flesh still attached is the cook's perk. Separate the slices of ham and thinly slice the mozzarella.
• You can now set everything out on a serving platter, or on individual plates. Pile the rocket in the centre. Arrange a circle of mango and ham round the rocket, sort of weaving them in and out of each other. Finish with an outer ring of overlapping mozzarella slices, then drizzle with the dressing. Grind some extra black pepper on top if you like, and scatter everything with the basil leaves.
