Culinary Techniques: How to Cut a Mango

Post by Elyse May (aka Veggie Teen) from my book,  Veggie Teens: A Cookbook and Guide for Vegetarian Teenagers.

In addition to hundreds of recipes, there are 21 "Veggie Teens Culinary How To" instructions in Veggie Teens, each with three-step photos. Here is an easy way to cut a mango.

How to Cut a Mango

Slice a mango lengthwise on both sides close to the large thin pit.

 

With the flesh side up, make diagonal cuts in both directions, forming a crisscross pattern.

 

Turn the mango half inside out (it will look like a hedgehog), then slice the precut chunks off the skin.
