How To Cut A Mango

Step 4 Invert

Now that you've scored your mango, flip it inside out. Just push up on the skin side to create a spiky little mango hedgehog.

Note that if you've made less than two cuts in either direction, the mango won't have enough flexibility to invert neatly. The more cuts, the easier it will flip and the better it will look. Here I've gone for a middle-of-the-road approach; sometimes I like to have lots of tiny mango spikes.

Good one! now i can make the mango gazpacho without having to buy the canned mangos. 1 big can of V-8 Diced cubed chopped mango. Chopped cilantro minced white onion, optional: minced garlic, chili pepper flakes, black pepper If you do use the canned mangoes, the syrup they come in can be used, it might add something.
