GRILLED MANGO WITH LIME, SALT AND ANCHO POWDER
Go to Mexico and you will find vendors, either with carts in the city or baskets on the beaches, selling cups of fresh fruit and vegetables served up with a squeeze of lime, a sprinkling of salt and a dash of chile powder. The combination may seem odd at first to the North American palate but the combination of sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavors is addictive. Grilling the mango intensifies its natural honeyed sweetness, adding another dimension to an already simple but powerful play of flavors.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium for direct grilling. Slice the mangoes in 2 pieces from the pit. Score the flesh of the mangoes in a diamond pattern, taking care not to cut into the skin. Pop the flesh by holding the skin side and pushing up. Brush the flesh with the oil and grill, cut-side down, until slightly charred, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the mangoes to a platter and immediately drizzle with the lime juice and sprinkle with the salt, chile powder and lime zest. Garnish with cilantro leaves if desired.
WHOLE GRILLED PACIFIC SPINY LOBSTER WITH MANGO PAPAYA SALSA
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Plunge the lobsters into the boiling water, cook for 8 minutes. Remove carefully and submerge in a bowl of ice water to immediately stop the cooking. Split the lobsters in half lengthwise and rinse out the head cavity and any veins that may be in the tail. Set aside.
- Toss the papayas, mangos and tomatoes in a mixing bowl with the lime juice and cayenne and salt, to taste. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- When ready to serve, brush a small amount of oil on the lobster meat and place the lobsters meat side down on the hot grill. Grill until lobster meat is lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook the shell side until lobster is heated through, about 3 minutes more. Remove the lobster meat from the shell. Add the mint to salsa, mix, and put on serving plates. Serve the lobster meat on top of the salsa.
GRILLED LOBSTER WITH SALSA ROSA
Steps:
- Heat a wide saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Saute the shallots for 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly golden. Add the garlic and chiles and saute, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more. Add the cumin, paprika and cayenne and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes more, until the aromas are released but the spices are not burned. Remove pan from heat and add lime juice, butter to taste, salt and pepper. Set the mixture aside while you preheat a broiler or prepare a grill for highheat cooking.
- Cut lobsters in half lengthwise and season with salt and pepper. Grill at high heat for approximately 8 minutes, shell side down. Then reduce the heat or move the lobsters away from the hottest part of the fire, rotating them 180 degrees to help them cook evenly, but keeping the shell side down. Grill at low heat for 5 minutes more. Spoon the spice mixture over the lobsters at the end of grilling for the last few minutes. Serve immediately with plenty of lime wedges.
FLORIDA KEYS LOBSTER AND YELLOWTAIL SNAPPER BARBECUE WITH FRESH MOJO, MANGO SALSA, AND GARLIC WHIPPED BONIATO
Steps:
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
- Season the lobsters with salt and pepper. Place both the lobsters and the marinated yellowtail snapper on the grill. Grill over medium heat until the lobsters are white and begin to separate from the shell and the snapper is opaque and no longer mushy (should be soft and slightly firm to the touch).
- After removing from the grill, divide each yellowtail snapper into 2 servings. Place 1 whole lobster and half a yellowtail snapper on each plate. Top the lobster with the Mango Salsa. Serve with grilled vegetables of your choice and Garlic Whipped Boniato.
- In a non-reactive dish, combine all ingredients and mix well. Marinate the scored yellowtail snappers in the Fresh Mojo in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve over grilled lobsters. Yield: 15 servings
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil and then salt the water.
- Use a paring knife to peel the boniato. Boil until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and then transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer. Add remaining ingredients to mixer and then mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and boniato is mashed.
GRILLED MANGO SALSA
A mango's rich flavor is deepened through grilling in this salsa full of contrasts. It also works if you do not want to grill the mango. I love mango salsa whether or not the mango is grilled, so if you don't feel like grilling, you can still get a great salsa with these ingredients. Grilling, whether on an outdoor grill, a griddle or a grill pan, deepens the flavor of an already-rich-tasting fruit. I love the contrasts in this salsa: the crisp jicama with the soft, juicy mango; the sweet fruit; the spicy chile; and the grassy cilantro. Serve with fish or chicken.

Steps:
- Prepare a medium-hot grill. Cut mango down flat sides of the seed to get 2 large flat pieces. Brush exposed surface lightly with oil and place on grill. Grill for about 6 minutes, until light grill marks appear. Remove from heat. With the tip of a paring nife, cut thin slices down to the skin but not through it, then cut a herringbone pattern across the slices. Push on the skin side so the cut mango pops out, then cut away the dice from the skin. Cut dice smaller if they are larger than 1/2 inch. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients to bowl and toss together. Allow to sit for 15 to 30 minutes so flavors will ripen.
