Peanuts, the fruit of the humble groundnut plant native to South America and now grown across West Africa, add a wonderful crunch to this simple gratinéed mango dessert — ripe fruit caramelised under the grill and topped with crushed nuts.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe mangoes, halved and pitted
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 50 g roasted peanuts, crushed
- Knob of butter
Instructions
- Place the mango halves cut-side up in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle each with brown sugar and a small piece of butter.
- Place under a hot grill for 5-8 minutes, until bubbling and lightly caramelised.
- Scatter with crushed peanuts just before serving.
Serve warm, on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
