Cream Of Coconut And Mango Soup Recipes

MANGO & COCONUT CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil in batches. Transfer chicken and drippings to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add the corn, spinach, edamame and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk, salsa and ginger; pour over vegetables., Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken; cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones; cut or shred meat into bite-sized pieces. Return meat to slow cooker., Just before serving, stir in mango and lime juice. Sprinkle servings with green onions.

CREAM OF MANGO SOUP

Steps:

• Place the mango, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and half-and-half into a blender or food processor. Cover, and process until smooth and creamy. Serve chilled.

MANGO-COCONUT CREAM TART

Steps:

• Make the pate brisee: Pulse flour, salt, and granulated sugar in a food processor until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. Drizzle 1/4 cup ice water evenly over mixture. Pulse until mixture holds together when pressed between 2 fingers (dough should not be wet or sticky). If dough is too dry, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse. Shape dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before rolling.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out pate brisee into a 15-inch round (1/8 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 12 1/2-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing dough well into pan's edge. Trim edge flush with top rim of pan. Prick bottom all over with a fork. Freeze until hard, about 20 minutes. Line with parchment, pressing parchment deep into corners of pan so it is flush with dough and leaving a 3-inch overhang. Fold overhang over dough edge so it is not exposed. Fill with pie weights or dried beans, and bake until edge of shell begins to turn golden, about 30 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove weights and parchment. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Tent edge with foil, and bake until golden brown, 25 to 27 minutes more. Let cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
• Make the filling: Mix together granulated and brown sugars, salt, and cornmeal. Whisk in eggs, yolk, and vanilla; then butter and coconut. Spread filling into tart shell. Bake until just set and lightly golden, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Make the topping: Peel mangoes, and cut in half, removing pits. Brush with lemon juice. Very thinly slice each half crosswise. Beat together cream and confectioners' sugar until medium peaks form. Spread one-third of cream mixture over top of filling. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large open star tip (such as Ateco #829) with remaining cream mixture, and pipe randomly spaced swirls of cream. Twist 3 to 5 mango slices at a time into spirals, and nestle between cream swirls. Heat corn syrup and water until combined. Brush mango spirals with syrup. Refrigerate tart until chilled, about 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.

COCONUT CREAMS WITH MANGO & LIME

Steps:

• Pour the coconut cream and double cream into a heavy-based saucepan with the sugar, broad strips of lime zest and crushed coconut, then set over a low heat, stirring a little to help the sugar dissolve. Turn the heat off just before it boils and leave to infuse for 1 hr (longer is fine). Strain and throw away the solids.
• Soak the gelatine in cold water for 10 mins to soften. Reheat the coconut mixture until hand-warm (if it's too hot, the panna cotta will not set properly). Stir in the lime juice.
• Lift the gelatine from the water and squeeze out the excess liquid. Stir into the coconut mixture. Divide between four metal moulds, each with a capacity of 125ml, or up to six teacups or small bowls if you're not turning out the panna cotta. Leave to cool, then put in a small roasting tin (just to transport them). Cover and chill in the fridge for about 4-6 hrs.
• Cut off the two 'cheeks' of the mango. (You could use the rest of the flesh for a smoothie). Place them, cut-side down, on a chopping board, then cut on an angle into thin slices. Transfer to a bowl and pour the lime juice over them.
• If you want to turn out the panna cotta, dip the moulds in to a bowl of boiling water for 5 seconds and loosen the edges with a knife. For each one, put a plate over the mould, turn the mould over while holding the plate in place, and shake. The panna cotta should slip out. Garnish with fine strips of lime zest, if you like. Serve alongside the lime-marinated mango.
