Honoring the utterly unforgettable Laurie Colwin

Honoring the utterly unforgettable Laurie Colwin

Oh, Laurie. Oh, Laurie. You will never be forgotten by our loving club.  The club of readers everywhere who adored your every word and devoured your kitchen delights, too.

I’m not 100% sure, but there’s a chance I think, that I may have concocted this recipe.  Maybe not.  In any case, I dedicate this treat to an incomparable author who slipped away, way too soon.  You.

BAKED CITRUS MANGO COLWINIA

First: Set the oven at 350 degrees (convection or otherwise).

Next: Peel a really ripe large mango, (organic, if possible).

Then:  Cut into pieces. Precision is highly over-rated here.  Just cut it up any nice way.

And: Arrange the slices in a baking dish — any kind will do.

Now: Liberally (or progressively, if you prefer) saturate the slices with your favorite citrus juice — freshly squeezed grapefuit or lemon work superbly. A generous spritz and then some more.

At Last: Sprinkle something grainy on top such as hemp granola.

Bake for about 20 minutes and read a poem to yourself.

VOILA!  Take your Mango Colwinia out of the oven and eat it with a spoon, please.
