The idea of a hot, sweet mango sauce sounded lovely. It’s a pretty easy dish with few ingredients. The secret is the sauce. I used 3 mangos, 3 tomatoes, a large onion, fresh ginger, a pile of garlic, tomato paste, curry powder, chili powder, salt and peri peri along with some red chili flakes and chicken stock. I seared the pre-spiced chicken (salt, pepper and peri peri) before letting simmer in the sauce for 20 minutes. After that, I used the immersion blender to puree the sauce. I made sour porridge (corn meal with a little vinegar) and served the chicken over the porridge with additional sauce for dipping. Alchemy!
