Mango Pops image

When I lived in Chicago, Illinois... I would buy these at the Flea Market. This is my version of this wonderful spicy treat! I usually make these according to these directions, but sometimes if I don't have the sticks/skewers, I just cut the mango away from the seed and cube it and mix it all together in a bowl. It is good...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large ripe mango
1/2 Tbsp fresh lime, just the juice
1/2 Tbsp red hot sauce
1/3 tsp chili powder
light sprinkle cayenne pepper
light sprinkle salt
STICK
1 thick skewer or pointed stick for handle

Steps:

  • 1. Press the stick in the center of the large end of the mango (try to line up with the seed). Holding the mango vertically, hit the stick end hard on a hard surface to pound the stick into the mango seed.
  • 2. Peel the skin off the mango. Holding the stick side down, use a sharp knife to make 4 or 5 slices on an angle downward. Then make slices downward in the opposite direction. (Kind of looks like a pineapple). Do this all the way around the mango.
  • 3. Mix together the hot sauce (optional) with the lime juice. Drizzle this all over the mango from the top - down.
  • 4. Sprinkle with chili powder on all sides and top. Then with the cayenne pepper and salt (optional).
  • 5. *** This recipe is for one person, but it is easy to double or quadruple.
