Dealing With Mangos
The word is out that I'll trade mangos for dinners.
It's a simple deal: dinner for two at Chef Allen's for a wheelbarrow of Mangos (approximately 200 pounds).
That might seem like a steep bounty for this humble fruit, but not in South Florida.
It's a challenge Miamians happily rise to every summer, when mangos are plentiful in backyards and groves alike.
The pride of owning a mango tree turns to a passion as the trees begin to ripen in the steamy tropical heat.

Recipe of the Month
Jerk Calamari, Mango and Watercress Salad
Ingredients to Serve-4
To prepare the Calamari:
In a small stainless steel bowl mix the calamari with jerk marinate. Warm a sauté pan with half of the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the calamari and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Slowly add the rum and simmer for another minute. Remove the calamari from the pan, keeping warm and reserve the cooking juices.
To prepare the Salad:
In a large bowl, toss together the mango, jicama, peppers and watercress. In another small bowl, whisk together the pan juices with the remaining salt, olive oil, lemon juice, yogurt and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour this dressing over the salad and toss.
To Serve:
In a large white oval platter, arrange the salad and spoon the warm jerked calamari on top. Garnish with freshly torn mint leaves.
