Mango Madness Wednesday



I had three mangoes in the refrigerator, so for the first time ever, I made mango chutney from a recipe I found online. I also made basmati rice with red lentils, curry powder and fresh ginger. This recipe was based on Jack Bishop's A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen. It was a little bland by itself, but paired with the chutney, it was out of this world. I also made a green salad topped with left over fresh mango chunks. This meal was very good, though total time in the kitchen was over an hour. I got a late start tonight because I had to work late. Just to note, my sweetie did not like the rice, he said it was bland. But the rice recipe I used was meant for croquettes, which I did not feel like making. I have only had Indian food once, and that was at a restaurant, so I will definitely have to experiment some more. I did manage to watch the second episode of the Bionic Women while cooking :) I grew up watching the Bionic Women, so far I really like the new show. (Sorry to get off of food, but I think it is cool.)
