Mangopilaf Recipes

Steps:

• Combine rice, salt, broth, mango, onion and water in a mediium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover and turn heat down to summer for 15 -18 minutes. Rice should be tender and all liquid absorbed.
• Stir in the pine nuts, basil, cumin, chili powder, cayenne into the rice. Pepper to taste and serve hot.

Steps:

• Combine the cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until double in volume, about 4 minutes.
• Spread a scant 2 cups of cream in an 8-inch square baking dish, followed by 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs and a third of the mangoes. Continue alternating layers for a total of 9 layers, ending with mango. Chill at least 8 hours and up to overnight.

Steps:

• Combine the chopped tomatoes, olive oil, cherry tomatoes, anchovies, garlic, basil, parsley, capers and red pepper flakes in a saute pan and let simmer for 5 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the sauce. Toss to combine.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Heat the oil in a large, shallow ovenproof pan, tip in the lamb, then fry on a high heat for 5 mins until browned all over. Take out of the pan and set aside. Fry the onions in what's left of the oil for 5 mins, until starting to soften and turn golden at the edges. Tip in the garlic and curry powder and fry for 1 min more until toasty and aromatic.
• Stir the lamb back in to the pan along with the chilli, coconut milk and stock, then bring to the boil. Cover the pan and place in the oven for 1 hr, until the lamb is completely tender. Alternatively, you can simmer the pan on a low heat for 1 hr on the hob.
• Season to taste, stir in the rice, re-cover pan, then return to the oven or hob for 30 mins until all the liquid has been absorbed. Take off the heat, leave to stand, covered, for 10 mins, then fluff the rice with a fork. Sprinkle with the mango, coriander and almonds, if using, then serve straight from the pan.

Steps:

• Add the saffron to a small bowl. Pour the hot water over the threads and soak for 5 minutes.
• Add the heavy cream to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, 3-5 minutes.
• Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream with a rubber spatula. Fold in the mango purée, then the ground cardamom and bloomed saffron with its soaking liquid, until incorporated.
• Pour the mixture into a glass container. Freeze for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, until frozen solid.
• Scoop the mango kulfi into small bowls and top with rose petals and more saffron threads, if desired.
• Enjoy!
