This is one recipe I've been meaning to try for two months, but didn't get around to until now because I wanted to get fresh mango from Kallio on a mango day, that is, Thursday, when the imported mangos are delivered fresh into the shops. I was finally passing through the area on a Thursday, got my juicy mango and made soba noodles with aubergine and mango for dinner. Despite the alluring list of ingredients (including for example garlic, lime, chili, sesame oil, mango, basil, coriander) I didn't really know what expect. Ottolenghi writes that this recipe is his mother's "cook-to-impress fare". Now I understand. What you get from this are wonderfully aromatic and smooth-textured mouthfuls of freshness. As Ottolenghi himself writes, for lack of a better description, it's the "sweet sharpness of the dressing and the muskiness of mango that make it so pleasing". An instant favourite.
