1 can mango with sweetened juice
1/2 cup juice from fruit
3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin in
1 cup water
4 egg whites
whipped cream
Directions:
Drain can of mango. Beat in a blender with 1/2 cup of juice from fruit.

Dissolve unflavored gelatin as instructions. Mix the fruit mixture with the gelatin mixture.

Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold the fruit mixture into the egg whites.

Pour into an attractive dish to mold. Refrigerate at least 12 hours. Garnish with whipped cream.

Ingredients:
all purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups
whole wheat flour - 1/2 cup
salt - 1/2 tsp
baking powder - 1 tbsp
milk - 1 cup (I used fat free)
mango - 3/4 - 1 cup (puree)
oil - 2 tbsp
greek yogurt - 1/4 cup
eggs - 1
chocolate chips - 1/2 cup (mini size chips)

Instructions:
Combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. Mix the wet ingredients, dry ingredients and chocolate chips until combined. Grease a muffin pan.
Fill up each muffin cup to about 2/3rd full. Sprinkle some chocolate chips on top if needed. Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 25 - 30 minutes until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice
2 tsp chile powder (I use Ancho Chile powder from Penzeys)
1 tsp. garlic puree (also called ground garlic)
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. ground cumin (or less if you're not that fond of cumin)
2 T Worcestershire sauce

Trim all visible fat and tendons from chicken breasts. If desired, cut small slits crosswise down the length of each breast. Put chicken in single layer inside Ziploc bag. Mix marinade ingredients and pour into bag. Let chicken marinate in refrigerator 4-8 hours, turning occasionally if possible.

Spray grill grate with non-stick spray or wipe with paper towel dipped in olive oil. Preheat gas or charcoal barbecue to medium high. (You can only hold your hand there for 2-3 seconds at that heat.) Put chicken on grill top side down. To get nice grill marks, cook about 4-5 minutes, then rotate 45 degrees and cook 4-5 minutes more on same side. Turn chicken over and cook until it feels firm, but not hard to the touch when you press it with your finger, about 15-20 minutes total cooking time, depending on the exact temperature of your grill.

This chicken could also be cooked in a stove-top grill pan with ridges or a George Foreman Grill with good results.

Serve hot, with Mango Salsa with Red Bell Peppers if desired.

Ingredients :
500g mascarpone cheese
600ml thickened cream
1/3 cup (50g) icing sugar
2 egg yolks
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
1/2 cup (125ml) Grand Marnier
Juice of 2 oranges
300g savoiardi (see note) (sponge finger biscuits)
3 mangoes, flesh sliced 1cm thick
Raspberry sauce
1/4 cup (55g) caster sugar
250g fresh or frozen raspberries
Juice of 1 lemon

Method:

Step 1
Line the base of a 22cm springform cake pan with plastic wrap or baking paper. Place the mascarpone, thickened cream, icing sugar, egg yolks and vanilla seeds in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high speed until thick and well combined.

Step 2
Combine the Grand Marnier and orange juice in a separate bowl. Dip half the sponge fingers into the juice mixture and layer in the base of the cake pan. Spread with one-third of the mascarpone mixture, and top with one-third of the mango slices. Repeat the process, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture, reserving the remaining mango slices to serve. Cover the cake and chill for 2 hours or until firm.

Step 3
Meanwhile for the raspberry sauce, place the sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small pan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cool slightly, then add the berries and lemon juice. Whiz in a food processor until smooth, then pass through a sieve. Chill until ready to serve. (You can store the sauce, covered, in the fridge for 3-4 days).

Step 4
To serve, carefully remove the sides and base of the cake pan and transfer the mangomisu to a platter. Decorate with curls of the reserved mango, then slice and serve with berry sauce.
