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.
Mango Chili Dressing
(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.

The Christmas Stollen Project
Christmas Stollen never played a role in my childhood. We rather preferred Hamburg brown cookies or spekulatius for our Christmas baking. Anyway, without Christmas Stollen Christmas in some places of Germany is not even imaginable…That’s the reason, why I found it always exciting. A heavy yeast dough with candied fruit, raisins and a dash of good rum. The Stollen must traverse several weeks (minimum two weeks) before you eat it – if you do manage to defend it against the family. Attention: This weekend is your last chance to bake a Stollen, which can be served “well matured” at Christmas on your coffee table. Otherwise, you must wait another year…

Sweet shore leave on La Palma
The market hall of Santa Cruz de La Palma is cozy and clear. Many small shops line up around a square courtyard. It’s the usual offer of Mediterranean markets: fruits and vegetables, fish, meat, poultry, spices, flowers and a number of small bars for coffee or a quick glass of wine. But there is a special feature here in St. Cruz: freshly squeezed sugarcane juice – on request also with “shot” – that tastes like more.
