Mango Recipes That Add Deliciousness to Every Meal

Just when it comes time to transition into springtime recipes, you’ll start to see mangoes popping up in stores again. By mid-March to early April their peak is in full swing. Tender, juicy, and gorgeous in color, the mango has a ton of different uses besides just eating it as is or adding on top of desserts. Plus, mangoes are great for your health and can benefit your gut, hair, skin, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Think vitamins, minerals, and fiber that all help supply your body with what it needs.

Where Do Mangoes Grow?

Let’s just say the cold and mangoes don’t quite get along. This fruit grows most abundantly in tropical and subtropical regions where warm temperatures and seasonal rainfall create ideal conditions. The largest producer in the world is India, which accounts for a significant share of global mango production thanks to its hot climate and long growing season. Other major producers include China, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, and Pakistan. In the Americas, mangoes also thrive in parts of Central and South America, while in the United States they are mainly in southern Florida and Hawaii.

Mango Recipes for Salads, Drinks, and More

Coco & Mango Milk Punch

Fresh fruit makes the best Coco & Mango NA Milk Punch. If you’re looking to sip a mocktail that feels like springtime then this is it. Make a mango puree at home to use in this recipe along with coconut water, pineapple juice, milk, lime juice, and a dried chili “hair” topping.

Panzanella Mango Salad

We’re always looking for new ways to dress up our salad. Here the soft texture of mango meets the crunch of grilled bread. To bring these two elements together we also mix up a citrusy dressing to pour over cherry tomatoes, green onions, and a bit of cilantro.

Tropical Mango Smoothie

Two tall glasses with stems hold Tropical Mango Smoothie with strawberries on the rim with little cocktail umbrellas in the strawberries.

Kick your feet back and try to imagine the warm sands of a sunny beach with blue waters as you sip on a Tropical Mango Smoothie. Mango is the star here but we have a secret ingredient that takes this recipe over the top: rosemary simple syrup. It makes all the difference.

Matcha Rice Krispies Treats with Mango

You could grab mango that’s already dried for this recipe but making your own in the oven is half of the fun. After some patience, you can dice up your dried mango to place in a sticky, gooey blend of matcha and Rice Krispies Treats. Get the kiddos involved on this one, they’ll love forming the bars!

Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Mango and Pineapple Salsa

Four bacon wrapped scallops with fruity mango pineapple salsa sits on a blue plate.

If you thought scallops were decadent let us introduce you to a recipe that’s luxury on luxury. We wrap tender scallops in bacon and then finish on a plate with a mango and pineapple salsa. Easy to make and we recommend saving any extra salsa for chips another night.

Salmon With Pineapple Mango Salsa

Baked salmon topped with pineapple mango salsa sits on a white dishes.

Don’t be fooled, this recipe isn’t all sweet. While the flavor of mango shines with a fresh cut of salmon and pineapple, a bit of spicy chopped jalapeño takes this dish to new heights. The heat is just enough to let you mull over the sweet flavors without overwhelming yourself.

Spring Artichoke Recipes You’ll Want to Make All Season Long

0
Crispy Artichokes with Lemony Bread Crumbs - a delicious savory dish with Western PA-based DeLallo Foods artichoke hearts

When markets start filling with artichokes, usually from March through May at their peak, you know the season has shifted to springtime. Fresh spring artichokes are more tender and flavorful than their fall season counterparts fall. Spring artichokes have tighter leaves, sweeter hearts, and a signature earthy, slightly nutty bite. They pair beautifully with olive oil, garlic, fresh herbs, Parmesan, and citrus, making them one of the most versatile vegetables of the season. These spring artichoke recipes celebrate them at their very best when they’re fresh, vibrant, and absolutely worth the little extra prep.

8 Spring Artichoke Recipes

Artichoke Dip

Top down view of a cookie sheet filled with various pieces of bread and pita triangles and a warm artichoke dip in the middle.

Starting off with a comforting classic, Artichoke Dip is a friend to crusty bread, tortilla chips, pita bread, and raw veggies. It’s creamy with savory roasted artichokes as well as a blend of cheeses that make it perfect for any party.

Stuffed Artichokes

Three stuffed artichokes in black bowls, with a garlic clove garnish and a sauce in the bottom of the bowl.

If you aren’t quite an artichoke lover then Stuffed Artichokes are an easy way to get into this vegetable. Large artichokes meet chorizo sausage, white wine, and plenty of seasoning before baking till crisp and golden brown.

Artichoke Puff Pastry Appetizer

A flat lay photo of several slices of a savory artichoke puff pastry tart, topped with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and parsley.

Grab a pack of puff pastry from your local grocery store and a jar of artichokes to make up an appetizer that will also appease all your friends and family. Simply lay out your puff pastry then get to work with sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, basil olive oil, and the goodness of artichokes.

Lemon Artichoke and Triple Tomato Hummus Two Ways

A lemon artichoke hummus sits in a polka dot blue and white bowl on a white picnic table.

The Lemon Artichoke Hummus here reaffirms that homemade beats store-bought every time. As long as you have a food processor then you can break down chickpeas to mix with tahini, lemon olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and preseved artichoke hearts.

Dandelion Artichoke Dip

A brown bowl full of Dandelion Artichoke Dip with a spoon in it and crusty bread laying around the dish.

Those who are looking to indulge in all of spring’s bounty will want to turn to the dandelion flower. The leafy green part of the dandelion also adds a little peppery taste to your usual artichoke dip. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of cheese too!

Baby Kale Salad with Citrus-Marinated Artichoke Hearts

Baby Kale Salad with Citrus-Marinated Artichoke Hearts and Lemon Vinaigrette on a white plate with a fork in the salad and a container of dressing to the left.

As we transition from the end of winter into spring, we can still take advantage of winter citrus like oranges, lemons, and limes, as well as fresh baby kale. You’ll even make your own dressing for this salad that’s lemony with hints of agave and spice.

Crispy Artichokes with Lemony Breadcrumbs

Crispy Artichokes with Lemony Bread Crumbs - a delicious savory dish with Western PA-based DeLallo Foods artichoke hearts

We’re letting the flavors and textures of roasted artichoke hearts shine with this recipe. A crunchy breadcrumb mixture of panko bread crumbs, butter, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, as well as herbs coats each of these artichoke hearts. Just don’t forget the extra lemon slices for serving.

Goat Rodeo Grilled Cheese with Artichoke Pesto

Artichokes can add a depth to any dish you combine them with. Here, we use artichoke hearts as a part of a pesto sauce with pepitas. Then, build a gourmet grilled cheese with sourdough bread, Goat Rodeo Wild Rosemary Cheese, fresh artichoke hearts, tomato slices, and your pesto.

Collier’s Cuts: ‘How to Make a Killing’ at the Multiplex

0
Glenn Powell holding a bow in how to Make a Killing.

A24 assembles an attractive cast for the dark comedy How to Make a Killing — while the writer behind Seven returns to horror with the ominous Psycho Killer.

How to Make a Killing Movie Review

Graphic for How to Make a Killing with a screen grab, information, and 2.5/5 rating.

If one of the main goals of a movie is to give us attractive, likable people to stare at, How to Make a Killing does a fine job. Heartthrob of the moment Glen Powell plays Becket Redfellow, the estranged youngest scion of a billionaire family; Margaret Qualley plays Julia, a childhood friend turned devious schemer; and Jessica Henwick plays Becket’s well-meaning girlfriend.

Cast out of the Redfellow dynasty, Becket is determined to reclaim his place — and substantial fortune — by any means necessary. If that involves killing off his generally despicable relatives, so be it. Julia watches the (mostly comedic) carnage from afar, seeking an advantage; as the body count piles up and the walls close in, Becket is forced to make a series of desperate decisions.

Unfortunately, How to Make a Killing — a sophomore effort from Emily the Criminal helmer John Patton Ford — either doesn’t decide what it is or fails to convince the viewer that such a choice has been made. It certainly has funny moments and positions itself as a dark comedy, but it operates more like a tense drama … minus the tension. The likable cast also features Topher Grace, Ed Harris and reliable character actor Bill Camp; the performers make what they can out of the ho-hum material. By the time the twists untangle, though, you may well have mentally left the theater.

Psycho Killer Movie Review

A banner with info about Psycho Killer with a screengrab and rating of 2/5 stars.

Andrew Kevin Walker can be counted as minor nobility in the horror genre, having penned the excellent script for Seven. That’s a credit to make a career out of, and Walker has done just that, contributing to the screenplays for other David Fincher products (including Fight Club and The Game) while turning in a number of other less memorable, but not unsuccessful, efforts (Sleepy Hollow, Windfall).

Psycho Killer, a fairly straightforward slasher with a sinister atmosphere, is not quite up to the standard of even Walker’s middling efforts. A cross-country police pursuit in the guise of a slasher movie, Psycho Killer concerns the rampage of a hulking, Satanic murderer (James Preston Rogers). That spree includes the killing of a highway patrolman during a traffic stop; the fallen officer’s widow (Georgina Campbell) undertakes a quest for vigilante justice.

The great Malcolm McDowell turns up for a bit as a hedonistic devil worshipper, livening up the middle act, but Psycho Killer sputters long before a series of undercooked revelations in the final reel. What merit the film has belongs to director Gavin Polone, in his feature debut; in the early-going, he captures the bleak and cold reality of modern travel, depicting desolate roadsides and hardscrabble motels with no shortage of atmosphere. I’m eager to see what Polone does next; hopefully, he’s given better material. 

Imagine a Little Midwinter Break … or Just Hang Out with Paul McCartney

The actors Ciarán Hinds and Lesley Manville are phenomenal, but early reviews have been mixed for their two-hander, Midwinter Break. The film follows a married couple as they’re reminded of the past on a visit to Amsterdam.

The excellent documentarian Morgan Neville helms Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, an all-access look at the musician in the decade after the dissolution of The Beatles. Neville’s films have included acclaimed biographies of Fred Rogers and Anthony Bourdain, but it was another music doc, 20 Feet From Stardom, that earned him an Oscar; that bodes well for Man on the Run.

The faith-based film I Can Only Imagine, about the writing of the song of that title — the top-selling single of all time among Christian tunes — was an unexpected hit. Hence, there’s a sequel (even without the benefit of another hit record), I Can Only Imagine 2 …

The Flashback Cinemas series, found in smaller theater chains throughout the country, revives a Hollywood favorite every Sunday night. This week’s pick remains one of the best in-theater experiences of all time: Jurassic Park. Visit Flashback Cinema for screening locations.
