(Salsa de Jicama y Mango)
Category: Fruit Salsas
Makes about 2 cups
Young Mexican chefs are creating some exciting new style dishes, such as this condiment inspired by one I had at the Villa Maria restaurant in the Polanco district of Mexico City. Polanco is one of the most fashionable residential and shopping zones in the city where recently a host of top restaurants have opened. It was served on the plate in a small mound to accompany grilled shrimp. For the most appealing presentation, dice the mango and peppers into very tiny pieces.
1 medium jicama, peeled and coarsely shredded
1/2 ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch dice
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/8-inch dice
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, veins removed, and minced
2 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Put the shredded jicama in a clean kitchen towel and press out the moisture. Put the jicama into a medium bowl. Add the mango, red pepper, jalapeño, and vinegar. Toss well. Add salt. Put the relish in a serving bowl to pass at the table, or spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons on each plate next to the appetizer or the meat it accompanies.
