The first time I made it, I threw it together with leftover toppings from my Spicy Mango Pizza. About the RecipeĪfter cutting the mango (fun!) and cutting the jalapeño (pain!), I assembled this salad. The hot water will open up your pores, expelling the oil from the peppers. And know that it will be the worst pain you've ever felt. So make a mental note of this: if you ever get capsaicin burns on your hands, put them in scalding hot water. Screaming and stomping my feet like a toddler throwing a tantrum while holding my hand under hot hot water.Sticking my fingers in my husband's Ben & Jerry's Blueberry Vanilla Graham Greek Frozen Yogurt (husband was not happy about this).

After a little Googling, I attempted to relieve the pain by: Holding the mango with one hand, and the knife with your dominant hand, slice just to the right of the center of the mango, continuing to cut until your knife meets the cutting board. I've burned myself with actual fire and it didn't hurt as much. Slice off the sides of the mango to start, you’ll need to place your mango stem-side down on the cutting board. Searing!

Lately I've been noticing that jalapeños are hotter than usual and I've even burned my fingers a little bit while chopping them. Now let's talk about how not to cut a jalapeño.

(This is the best part! So relish it! Take a picture!) Then use your knife to scrape the fruit from the skin and chop into smaller pieces if necessary. Once you've done this, take the mango in both hands (skin side down) and press upwards with your thumbs to turn it inside out. I use good scissors that can cut thick things like leather (not your fabric or paper scissors or you’ll wreck them) and trim away the edges. (This differentiates them from every other fruit, because other fruits are not fun to cut.) After cutting the fruit off the pit, you slice both sides of the mango lengthwise and crosswise, cutting down to the skin of the fruit but not through it. 1 Buy a Ripe Mango 2 Remove the Husk/Seed from the Mango 3 Clean and Dry the Husk 4 Remove Seed from Husk You want to cut the edges of the husk so you can pry it open without damaging the seed inside.
