Ingredients
2
large unripe, firm, green-skinned mangoes, peeled and sliced lengthways into thick strips
Juice of 2 limes
1 tsp
salt
4
small garlic cloves, minced
½
of one red Scotch bonnet pepper, seeded and minced
¼ c
culantro or cilantro, roughly chopped
Highly adaptable and easily made, chow is a vibrant little snack that Trinidad and Tobago locals insist should be “made to your taste.” Adding less heat or amping up the aromatics is all a-okay. During the summer months, firm, almost-ripe stone fruit could be used in place of mango.
Directions
- Place the mangoes in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice, salt, garlic, Scotch bonnet pepper, and culantro. Toss to combine using a fork. Serve immediately.
