An oldie but a goodie, though I originally posted this recipe for a tropical and delicious vegetarian version of the Cuban classic, picadillo, last year, this warm weather has convinced me to relive its deliciousness and share it over at Marcus Samuelsson's blog! Please go over and check it out!
Delicious! Love tropical fruits like mango as the weather warms up (unseasonably so!). I have to admit though - it's those almonds on top that make me want to dig right into this dish!
ReplyDeleteMangoes = deliciousness! I love when it's time for all the good fruits to be back in season.
ReplyDeleteI made this one - it is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis really is a lovely recipe, Joanne. It's nice to know that local fruit will soon be on its way and we can again enjoy salads such as this. Congratulations on your Sunday marathon, Bravo!!! Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteLoce those oldies but goodies!
ReplyDeleteYUM! This looks perfect for warm weather! Will be making this soon!
ReplyDeleteYum - definitely trying this one. And the tomato soup from the other day. (I was away from blogs for a few days and must read that one. Yum.)
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! I am going to have to check it out!!
ReplyDeleteAnything with lentils and mangoes. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo spring-like! My daughter loves mangoes. I'm ready to leave the winter fare behind now and this is the perfect thing to end an 83-degree day! Thanks for reposting - it's entirely new to me, of course. :)
ReplyDeleteI love sweetness from fruit added to normally savory dinners - mango is a fantastic way to jazz up lentils!
ReplyDeleteThis is so unique! What an awesome idea. You always come up with the yummiest stuff. Keep it coming!...and move next door to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative and yummy picadillo recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I'm an omnivore, but I'm planning to become vegetarian for a week. Definitely cookmarking this recipe so I can make it!
ReplyDeletethis looks great! can't wait to try it - i'm not giving up meat completely but i'm trying to cut back a bit. i love lentils and this looks like a delicious recipe. thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYum, LOVE that you used mango. Have you ever tried cooking with green mango? It's kind of tangy and lovely in lentil dhal/stew type things. I've never actually used ripe mango in savoury dishes like this so this so I'll be trying this one out... Thanks Joanne!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I've never tried this before. But I loove having adventures with foreign exotic food!
ReplyDeleteTime for me to try this delicious recipe out within the next few days for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting it,
Grandma Kat
XOXOXOXOXO

ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible, unique and flavorful dish Joanne!
ReplyDeleteI love that plate, not so big of a fan of lentils but I could always give them another try.
ReplyDeletewe love lentils and this sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love the addition of mango, so delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm glad you decided to relive this one. Cuban and mangoes sounds just perfect. I've never attempted Cuban food before!
ReplyDeleteMangoes with lentils! Who would have ever thought? But they sound divine together. A little touch of the tropics is always welcome.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get my husband to eat lentils... he just doesn't dig them. Maybe this dish would make him change his mind?!?
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne! This is my first time being here and I'm excited to check out your blog after writing comments. :-) I'm too shamed to say that I haven't tried lentils in my cooking yet. I see a lot of great recipes like yours but its' something new and I just need to try one day. Lentil and mango sounds great combination! Heading over now.
ReplyDeleteYour food is always so colourful Joanne, with so many flavours. This looks like a great dish that would not only taste good but be good for you xx
ReplyDeleteMango picadillo sounds amazing on its own but I love the idea of turning it into a meal with lentils .. I would probably like it with chickpeas too!
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe. I love lentils. Great job in the marathon this past Sunday! And congrats on winning the Saucy Mama contest! I have a question, how do you have time to make all these recipes and study at NYU ? You are definitely a super woman! :)
ReplyDeleteLentils and mangos sound awesome together!
ReplyDeleteIf you're posting it again that's probably a sure-fire sign it needs to be made by me.
ReplyDeleteI d love to have this in summer when the mangos start to fall. looks great joanne!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you reposted this one. The addition of mango is brilliant! Hello spring and summer!
ReplyDeleteI love lentils and mangoes and never though to combine them. Great recipe.
ReplyDeleteLooks so refreshing but also hearty! Can't wait to try it on the deck this summer :)
ReplyDeleteLOving everything about this!!
ReplyDeleteI found three bags of lentils in the corner of a large drawer, in 3 different colors. I had no idea, I had these. You use lentils enough, I know, I will be able to use them up.
ReplyDeleteVery colorful recipe i like mangoes so i can eat different dishes using mangoes.Thank you for providing the new and tasty recipe.
