How to:

Store spices

If correctly stored - as airtight as possible in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight - ground spices and dried herbs wil perserve their flavours, but do use them within 8 months. Here are some more tips:

  • Dry excess herbs in a microwave. Place a layer of leaves on paper towels in the microwave then place another paper towel on top and microwave on high  for 1 or 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Strip the leaves off the stems and place them in a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. 
  • Or freeze them in ice-cube trays with some water. To use, add a whole block to ingredients.
  • As soon as you've bought fresh herbs, rinse them well, drain them on a clean tea towel and keep them chilled, in a tea towel, on the vegetable shelf in the fridge.
  • Ready-made or home-made curry powders can be stored together in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for three to four months.

Cooking instructions:

Distribute the mango between four bowls, and top with the raspberries, coconut and a scattering of mint leaves.

Cook’s note:

In order to prepare the coconut, pierce the outer husk with a skewer a few times and allow the milk to drain out.

Then, place the coconut in a plastic bag and smash it with a hammer.

Remove the coconut shards from the bag and cut the flesh away from the outer husks.

Alternatively, look out for Woolworths’ new range of organic sliced coconut, available seasonally.

TASTE’s take:

A symbol of life and eternal bliss, the mango has moved from its third-world background to its rightful place as the world’s most luscious of fruits, with a versatile, exotic taste that holds its own in a variety of recipes. This fragrant fruit salad is especially delicious served with braaied fi sh, or simply eaten with vanilla ice cream.
