    Easy Vegan Mango Sorbet

    Today’s self-isolation recipe is an easy Vegan Mango Sorbet and you don’t need an ice cream maker, just a blender or food processor.  In terms of ingredients – all you need is two large ripe mangoes, some maple syrup or honey and 1 lime or lemon.  Make sure that your mangoes are very ripe when you freeze them as that will ensure that the sorbet has a good sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, use limes and if a tarter taste is preferred, then use lemon. If you are feeling adventurous,  you could even add a tablespoon of tequila or a pinch of chilli flakes. This is my go-to treat…

    Mango and Black Rice Salad

    Here’s a very short and sweet recipe for my Sweet and Salty Mango and Black Rice Salad. I picked some black rice up when visiting The Refillery because it’s the only place I have seen it in Jozi! Black rice is known as ‘forbidden rice’ or ‘emperors rice’ because it used to be reserved for Chinese Royalty. Besides being gluten-free, it is higher in fibre than white rice, Black Rice also boasts 8.5g of protein per 100g! Here’s the recipe for a side salad using this awesome ingredient, or if you are feeling hungry – a salad for one!
