Summer brings an abundance of delicious fruit, and one that Queenslanders are especially fond of is mango. This special dessert calls for green mango, which is not a type of mango. In fact, it’s an unripened mango which you will find is more tart in flavour. And in this beautiful recipe created by Chef Simon Palmer of Ecco Bistro, it brings welcome zest.
We know you’ll love these flavours – a fresh finish to any meal, this gorgeous 4 part recipe never fails to surprise and delight.
