Notes
*Mangos are a stone fruit that has a large pit in the center. The best way to cut a fresh mango is to cut a slice off from each side, exposing the flesh and then cutting into small sections. The skin if bitter so you will want to slice the fruit away from the peel and discard the peel and the pit.
*Even if you do not own a grill you can still achieve that smokey charred flavor with just a skillet. You can char canned or frozen corn in a skillet with a little olive oil. If using canned corn, drain and rinse the corn well. Heat a skillet over medium high heat with a teaspoon of olive oil. Sauté corn for 6-7 minutes or until slightly charred. If using frozen corn it is not necessary to defrost but it may take a few extra minutes to char in the skillet.
