Tropical Mango Coconut Risotto Recipe

Exploring New Flavors: Mango Coconut Risotto

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dish that combines the creamy comfort of risotto with the tropical flavors of mango and coconut. This recipe is perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with loved ones. Let’s dive into creating this flavorful and satisfying dish!

Ingredients:

• Arborio rice (300g)
• Fresh mango, diced (1 large)
• Coconut milk (400ml)
• Vegetable broth (1 liter)
• Onion, finely chopped (1)
• Garlic, minced (3 cloves)
• Juice of 1 lime
• Chili flakes, to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• Large saucepan
• Wooden spoon
• Chef’s knife
• Cutting board
• Grater

Start by heating the vegetable broth in a large saucepan over medium heat. In another pan, heat the coconut milk until warm but not boiling. In the saucepan, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat the grains in the oil.

Begin adding the warm vegetable broth to the rice mixture, one ladleful at a time, stirring continuously until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente, about 20-25 minutes.

Once the risotto reaches the desired consistency, fold in the diced mango, lime juice, and chili flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the risotto sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

To serve, ladle the mango coconut risotto into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. The combination of creamy coconut, tangy mango, and zesty lime creates a delicious and vibrant dish that will tantalize your taste buds.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top of the risotto for an added crunch and nutty flavor. It brings a new dimension to the dish and enhances the overall texture.
