So this is a new recipe that I found and modified, and really enjoyed. I thought you all might like it too:

And, just for a warning, I never measure. These are all just "guesstimates". Change according to your personal taste, and feel free to ask if you're not sure.

1 Red bell pepper (I only used half.)
1 Mango
1 Red Onion (again, I used half of a very small one. if you like more, use more!)
Lime juice (ehh.....a teaspoon?)
Curry powder (to taste. I LOVE curry, so I dump tons in everything. Do what you like.)
Mustard (optional)
Italian bread (regular old Italian works, French would be good, ciabatta...um. Pretty much any hearty, crusty bread would do well.)
Butter
Cheese (I used swiss, my friend used pepperjack, and we both agreed provolone or montery jack would work just as well.)

Slice the mango (about 1/2 inch slices) red pepper (1/4inch) and onion (1 cm.)

Okay. Throw some butter in a hot skillet. You'll want enough to well coat the pan. Now add the curry powder. mix the curry into the butter, and then add the veggies. Saute everything around for a while until the onions are translucent. Add the mango last so it doesn't turn to mush. Get everything melded together, and then add the lime juice. Okay, now pull it all out of the pan, and onto a plate.

Take your sliced bread, (which should be lightly buttered on one side.) and place it butter-side-down in the very same skillet. Let it get toasty (but don't do what I did, and get distracted and set off the smoke alarm!), if you're using mustard, add it to the bread, (just a dab'll do ya!) then add the sauted veggies and fruit. Top with cheese, and another slice of toasty bread (if you please. some of mine were, um, burned, and so we ate open-faced sandwiches.........). Sprinkle on just a little bit of curry, and a little dash of lime juice, and voila! Enjoy!


(the original recipe was made as a cold mango/onion/pepper salsa on a grillled sanwich. My friend made it like a panini. There's lots of variations!)


I hope that all made sense....not only don't I measure, but I'm terrible about writing recipes down, and when I do, they only make sense to me. Again, any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll try to rephrase everything into something more appropriate to Correct English Grammer.

Wow! Now that sounds fantastic. I don't know how soon I'll have a chance to try it myself but I plan on keeping this handy until I do. Thanks Dotie.
