Juicy, sweet mango can be so much more than a smoothie flavour, Chef! In this recipe, we show you how to make a gorgeous mango & sweet pepper salsa. This will be the perfect condiment for smashed oven-roasted baby potato and a very tasty pork chop, thanks to the tamarind paste & coconut sugar glaze our creative UCOOK Chefs have created. Served with a plump pea salad.

PARBOILED POTATOES
Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with a fork but still firm, 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
SMASHED POTS
Spread the parboiled potatoes on a lightly greased roasting tray. Using a fork, gently press down, splitting the skin, but keeping them in one piece. Drizzle over some oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
Mango SALSA & SOME PREP
In a bowl, combine the Mango, the peppers, and the seasoning. Set aside in the fridge. In a small bowl, combine the tamarind glaze with Ginger and Garlic.
PORK CHOP
Pat the pork chop/s dry with paper towel. Using a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the meat from buckling during frying. Coat in oil, and season. Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork chop, fat-side down, until the fat is rendered and crispy, for 3-5 minutes. Then, fry until cooked through, for 2-3 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with the tamarind glaze mixture. Remove from the pan with all the pan juices.
SIMPLE SALAD
Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a salad bowl, combine the lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil and mix to emulsify. Add the salad leaves, peas, toss to coat, and season.
TIME TO EAT
