Grilled Mangoes And Cheddar Recipes

GRILLED MANGOES WITH BLUE CHEESE AND HONEY

Steps:

• Have the oven broiler on or a grill heated to medium-high.
• Peel the mangoes with a paring knife. One at a time, set each mango on its side on a cutting board and cut the flesh away from the large flat seed in the center. Place the largest 2 pieces from each mango in a medium bowl (set the rest of the flesh aside for another use).
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat and cook until it turns nut brown. Add the Toasted Spice Rub and salt. Remove the skillet from the heat. Pour or brush the butter mixture over the mangoes and toss well to coat them.
• Grill the mango slices (only on the flat, cut side) over medium-high heat until nicely marked, 3 to 5 minutes.
• While mangoes are grilling, cut the blue cheese into 1-inch pieces.
• Remove the mango slices from the grill and spread them on a baking sheet, with the grilled sides facing up. Divide the cheese on top of the mango slices.
• Place under the broiler for 30 seconds to weep the cheese (optional step). Be careful not to get the mango too hot. Arrange on a platter or individual plates.
• In a heat-proof bowl, warm the honey briefly in the microwave and drizzle over the top. Serve warm.
• 1/4 cup fennel seeds
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon peppercorns
• 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup pure California chili powder
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• Toast the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a small, heavy pan over medium heat. When the fennel turns light brown, work quickly. Turn on the exhaust fan; add the red pepper flakes, and toss, toss, toss, always under the fan. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool. Put in a blender with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground. If you have a small spice mill or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients.
• Toasting freshens spices, releases their oils, and makes them more fragrant, as well as adding a new dimension of flavor. Keep the spice mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
• Taste your chili powder and, if spicy and hot, cut back the amount. California chiles are almost sweet, not hot.
• Yield: about 1 cup

GRILLED CHEDDAR AND BACON WITH MANGO CHUTNEY

• Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot, then cook sandwiches, 2 at a time, pressing occasionally and turning over once, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes total per batch.

CHEDDAR & CHUTNEY GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Lay 6 slices of the bread on a cutting board and brush each slice generously with the butter. Turn the slices over and spread each one with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chutney. Place 1/2 cup of the Cheddar evenly on each slice and place the remaining 6 slices of bread on top of each sandwich. Brush the tops generously with melted butter.
• Heat a panini press (see Cook's Note) and grill the sandwiches according to the directions for the machine, until the bread is nicely browned on both sides and the Cheddar is starting to melt.
• Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and cut each one in half diagonally. Serve hot.

GRILLED CHEESE OF THE GODS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mash together the butter and Parmesan cheese until evenly blended. Make sandwiches by placing two slices of bacon and one slice of Cheddar cheese on half of the bread slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread some of the butter mixture on the top of each sandwich. Place sandwiches butter side down in the skillet. Spread the remaining butter mixture on the other sides. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. To serve, cut in half diagonally.

CHEDDAR AND MANGO CHUTNEY SANDWICH

Steps:

• Not like they are really needed but, take two thick slices of bread, a tablespoon of softened butter and the filling combo. Spread butter on one side of both slices of bread, lay the bread on a work surface, butter-side down, and put the fillings inside.
