Preparing mangos
SLICED
Hold mango upright with its stem facing upwards. Using a sharp knife, slice off cheeks one at a time, close to the stone. If slicing, scoop flesh from skin with a spoon and slice as required.
CUBED
For a 'hedgehog' pattern, after you slice off the cheeks, score mango flesh 3 or 4 times vertically (being careful not to cut through the skin) and then 3 or 4 times horizontally. Firmly hold both edges of mango cheek and turn inside out. Slice flesh away from skin or eat straight from skin.
