Mango Avocado Slaw Dish – Two Ways!
Although this is a cod with mango dish, I adapt the recipe for Hubs who doesn’t like fish. Do you have picky eaters in your household too? If so, you can make this same dish, but just switch out the protein. So while I make this with fish for me, I cook chicken for him and serve it with the same mango and avocado slaw. And we’re both happy!
Since we’re only cooking for two, you may notice that we halved the recipe in the following pictures.
A little cabbage goes a long way when you’re only cooking for two. so I only cut off a small portion since we could only find a large cabbage. Then I slice it fine.
I find our food processor doesn’t shred fine enough. But even it if did, a serrated knife works great for this task.
Keeping Avocados Fresh
Here’s Hubs’ trick for keeping avocodos from spoiling. Let them sit on the counter until almost ripe, then pop them into the fridge. At first, I thought refrigerating avocados was a crazy idea. But it really works and they’ll keep for a week longer.
Cook the cabbage in a teaspoon of oil until it’s soft.
Cut the avocado and mango the same size. I like it chunky like this, but you could cut it finer for more of a salsa.
If you don’t like heat, be sure to remove all the seeds from the pepper.
All combined:
The fish cooks in an oven-proof skillet at first, but then goes into the oven to finish baking.
I cook Hub’s chicken at the same time.
I never take chances with any protein. So I use a digital thermometer to ensure it reaches the proper temperature before removing from the pan to slice.
Presentation-wise, I ensure we can tell the difference between the two dishes. For me, I just pile everything on top of the fish.
In contrast, Hubs’ components are neatly arranged on the plate.
By the way, if you have leftover red cabbage, don’t serve it for breakfast the next day with eggs unless you have a thing for Smurfs. It will turn your eggs blue :).!
