One of the more common methods of preparing a mango is the Hedgehog. To cut a mango in this way, just follow the basic steps in the chart below.
Remove mango cheeks one at a time with a sharp knife by slicing as close to the stone as possible.
Score 3 or 4 lines vertically down each cheek and 3 or 4 lines horizontally to form a hatched pattern. Take care not to cut through the skin.
Firmly hold both edges of the fruit and turn the cheek inside out.
The cubes can then be sliced off and used in drinks, salads, desserts and other recipes. Let your imagination run wild!
