This is a dish that toes the line between sweet and savoury to perfection. This traditionally Italian recipe is usually served with peaches rather than mangoes, but the formula of the dish works beautifully with the sweetness of seasonal, ripe Kensington Pride mangoes.
This recipe is simple and quick to prepare and is guaranteed to impress as an entrée at any dinner party or summertime gathering. You can also play around with ingredient substitutes until the cow’s come home. We’ve used thyme and walnuts this time, but the recipe also works well with rosemary or basil leaves and pine nuts.
