Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mangoes — Choose ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch for the best flavor and texture.
• Scotch bonnet pepper — Be cautious when handling and chopping the pepper, as it is very spicy. Use gloves if necessary and avoid touching your face or eyes.

Tips & Tricks

• For a milder version, remove the seeds and membranes from the scotch bonnet pepper before chopping.
• Adjust the amount of scotch bonnet pepper according to your spice tolerance.
• Serve Jamaican Mango Delight as a refreshing side dish or as a topping for grilled meats or seafood.
• Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving to enhance the citrusy flavors.
• Experiment with different herbs like basil or parsley for a unique twist.

Serving advice

Serve Jamaican Mango Delight chilled in individual bowls or as a colorful topping for grilled fish or chicken. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the diced mangoes in a circular pattern on a serving plate and drizzle the sauce over them. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro and red bell pepper on top for a vibrant and appetizing presentation.
