Mung Bean & Mango

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup dried mung beans
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 ripe mango, peeled and diced

Method

1. 01

   Rinse 1/4 cup mung beans. No soaking required — place in a saucepan with 1 cup water and bring to a boil.

2. 02

   Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until mung beans are very soft and beginning to break apart.

3. 03

   While beans cook, peel and dice 1/2 ripe mango, removing all fibrous strings.

4. 04

   Combine cooked mung beans with fresh mango in a blender and blend until smooth. The mango can be added raw for a fruity, fresh flavour.

How to offer

Serve as a tropical-flavoured smooth puree. The sweet mango pairs wonderfully with earthy mung beans.
