The easiest way to slice a mango is to peel it first, using a paring knife. This works best with fruit that is only just ripe; if the fruit is over-ripe, it will be slippery and may pulp in your hand, making it difficult to grip.
You can simply cut the flesh from the mango and then slice it or cut it into chunks. Alternatively, use the technique shown here for neatly shaped wedges.
- Cup mango in your hand and peel skin, lengthwise, as thinly as possible with a paring knife. Work around the fruit, to keep a neat shape.
- Cut a V-shaped wedge down to the stone. Slice from the V, working around the fruit.
