Mango fusion - Mango marinated meat with mangosalad



Mango is one of my favorite fruits, but so fat I've only eaten it in a dessert-like manner. So I decided to go a bit further by marinating some meat and have it with a salad. This is what you need. 

ca 150 g bone free pork chop
1/3 mango
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
lime juice
a few leaves of thai basil 
salt
coriander


Chop the mango, and thai basil into small pieces. Blend it together with the rest of the ingredients. Put the meat in a plastic bag and pour the marinade into it as well. If you want to you can skip the coriander, as I know that not all like the taste of it. Let the meat marinate for at least 30 min so that the sweetness of the mango infuses the meat. 


When the meat has been left to rest for a while put it in a dry pan on medium/high heat. fry it for abotu 3-5 min on each side depending on how thick the meat is, or until it the meat gets some nice color. While the meat is cooking start with the salad. What you need is 

lettuce
1/3 cucumber
1/2 mango
1/2 avocado


Slice evrything up, plate it and enjoy. The meat is sweet and a bit savory, and works great with the salad. The avocado and the mango counters each other great and it tastes wonderful!
