Sango Sin Recipes

MANGO POMELO SAGO

Steps:

• For the tapioca: Bring 2 1/2 cups of the coconut water to a boil in a small nonstick saucepan. Once boiling, add the tapioca pearls and stir with a rubber spatula. Lower the heat to medium low and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the pearls are no longer white, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover and let stand for an additional 10 minutes.
• Drain the tapioca in a fine-mesh sieve and discard the coconut water. Rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. If making this ahead: Let set in 1/2 cup chilled coconut water and refrigerate until ready to serve. This will prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking together.
• Reserve 1/4 cup of the coconut milk. Add the remaining coconut milk to a blender along with the mango juice, coconut sugar, if using, remaining 1 1/2 cups coconut water, 2 cups of the mango cubes and 2 cups ice. Blend on high speed until smooth. (If using a more fibrous mango, feel free to strain the mixture.)
• Divide the tapioca pearls into 4 bowls and pour the mango puree over it. Garnish with the pomelo pulp and remaining mango cubes. Drizzle with the reserved coconut milk. Enjoy while cold.

SUGARCANE CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH SANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the sugarcane half, forming 2 (6-inch) canes. Then, cut the sugarcane lengthwise, into quarters, forming 8 skewers, about 1/8 of an inch thick.
• Thread each piece of chicken onto a single sugarcane skewer. Repeat the process with rest of skewers and chicken. Place the skewers in a shallow bowl.
• In a small bowl, combine the oil and garlic, mix well, and then pour the mixture over the chicken skewers let to marinate, covered and refrigerated, for at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a saucepot, over medium heat, pour a little oil. Saute the onion, peppers, and garlic slowly, cooking for about 10 minutes. Then, add the chicken stock, green plantains, and peanuts. Cook this mixture until the plantains have become tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, and then, using an immersion blender or a food processor, puree the sauce.
• Preheat a grill or the broiler.
• Grill the chicken skewers until they are firm to the touch and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with a side dish of the Sango Sauce, for dipping.
