Sheila is not a dessert person at all, maybe a Crème brûlée, preferring a fruit salad. This simple fruit salad with a splash of. tequila is a perfect foil for the spicy pork The trick is to prepare it well in advance and let the flavours develop for a few hours in the fridge
Ingredients
1 ripe mango, cut into chunks
1 punnet strawberries, rinsed & dried, with the stalks removed.
2 tablespoons sugar
Juice of 1 lime
A shot of tequila – I used a tequila reposada
Chopped fresh mint, about 3 tablespoons
Method
Combine the mango and roughly quartered strawberries in a bowl.
Sprinkle over the sugar and stir.
Pour over the lime juice and tequila and stir again.
Add half of the chopped mint, stir to combine, cover with cling film and pop in the fridge for at least an hour.
Remove from fridge 30 minutes before serving and stir in the remaining chopped mint.
Serve in small bowls.
