Mango Chili Dressing - sensational with salad
February 18th, 2023 | side dishes
Something new on top of the salad: Today I will present you a delicious recipe for an exotic mango chili dressing. My favorite captain brought the recipe from the ship. It comes from an Indonesian ship’s cook. The combination of sweet mango and hot chili rounds off your salad exceptionally and deliciously.
The mango chili dressing is a whole new twist for any salad and it has definitely found a regular place on our menu. Depending on how boldly you dose the sambal oelek and chili flakes, your taste buds might get boiling. Indonesian cuisine can be quite spicy at times. However, the amounts given in this recipe are moderate, tried and tested and with a balanced level of spiciness. Promised.
Incidentally, a sambal is a typical Indonesian sauce that is traditionally served separately with all dishes in Indonesia. A spice paste is prepared on the basis of chili, vinegar and other spices, often in a mortar. Of course, every chef has his own family or secret recipe, which can vary greatly in terms of the degree of spiciness.
From time to time my favorite captain receives spice mixtures on board from Indian, Filipino or Indonesian crew members. They know, he loves to eat spicy. One or two jars in our spice cabinet hold treasures that are only compatible in homeopathic doses 😉
But don’t worry: The mango chili dressing according to this recipe is absolutely harmless and made in a flash.

(makes dressing for 4 servings)
AND THAT'S HOW THE CAPTAIN'S WIFE DOES IT
Fresh mangoes of perfect ripeness and quality are not available everywhere and are also expensive. For this recipe, I use mango puree from a jar, for example from [Warning: Advertising!] the Allos health food store. Or fruit puree from Ponthier, which is of excellent quality (also for making ice cream, for example…) and which I buy in the Frischeparadies. You only need a small amount for the dressing, so I freeze the rest of the container in portions. So I always have the seven tablespoons for a dressing on hand.

Venison steak with chilli and blackberry sauce
After collecting blueberries and mushrooms on my hikes over the past few weeks, now the blackberries are ripe. They’re plentiful this year, and they’re sun-kissed and sugar-sweet. I processed my harvest into a very fine sauce for the venison steak. Chilli, ginger, red and port wine and the fruity sweetness of blackberries – the sauce is really phantastic…

Cicchetti & Spritz – this is Venice!
Venice offers cicchetti in an incredible range – from the very simple “cut” to the noble cicchetto, which almost means the effort of a small dish. But it’s not always just the cicchetti that create the experience, sometimes it’s certain originals behind the counter. For example Sam at Arcicchetti Bákaro near Piazzale Roma.
