Ingredients
Mangoes
Mangoes are the star ingredient of this pickle recipe. Choose ripe, firm mangoes that are not too soft or mushy. You can use any variety of mango, but the Alphonso or Keitt mangoes are traditionally used for this recipe.
Spices
The key to a delicious Portuguese mango pickle is the blend of spices used. The most important spice is cumin, which adds a warm and earthy flavor. Other essential spices include mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. These spices not only provide flavor but also have antibacterial and preservative properties that help in the preservation of the pickle.
Vinegar
Vinegar is used to give the pickle its tangy taste and also helps in preserving the mangoes. You can use any white vinegar for this recipe, but traditional Portuguese pickle uses red wine vinegar for a more authentic flavor.
Sugar
To balance out the tanginess and spiciness, sugar is added to the pickle. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preference, but it is an essential ingredient for a well-rounded flavor.
Instructions
Cutting the mangoes
Cut the mangoes into small pieces, removing the skin and seed. The size of the mango pieces can vary according to personal preference, but smaller pieces are easier to pickle.
Marinating the mangoes
Once the mangoes are cut, add salt and turmeric powder to them and mix well. Let the mangoes marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preparing the spice blend
In a pan, heat some oil and add mustard seeds, cumin, and fenugreek seeds. Once the seeds start to splutter, add in red chili powder and mix well. Turn off the heat and let the spice blend cool down.
Bringing it all together
In a large bowl, mix the marinated mangoes, spice blend, and vinegar and sugar. Make sure all the mango pieces are coated with the spice blend. Transfer the pickle to a sterilized jar and let it sit for at least 2 days before consuming.
