Make some more delicious food of course.
This one is a super easy fix for those of you with a sweet tooth.
The Sauce:
1 cup of mango
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 Table spoon of sugar
pinch of mint
Add everything in a sauce pan together, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer while you do the rest.
The vegetable:
I went with broccoli for the color variation, and to bring something a little salty and bitter to an extremely sweet plate of food.
brush it with a coat of olive oil, then sprinkle on a generous amount of garlic and sea salt. (you want the crunch from the bigger salt)
toss it in a 450 degree oven on a cookie sheet. I only go for about 12-15 minutes here, gets a nice cooked flavor on the outside, but the inside is still very fresh. You can easily go longer if you like your vegetables overcooked.
The Starch:
2 cups of white rice...I'm usually a brown rice fan but I don't think it would work as well for this. I use a rice cooker but whatever you do to cook rice will work, once it's done add in 2 heaping spoonfuls of orange marmalade, and about half the juice from a can of mandarin oranges. Stir it all together really well, the extra liquid should help keep it from sticking, then top with orange slices. a basil or mint leaf garnish makes a pretty picture.
The protein:
Super easy. A light rub of salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary, on a chicken breast then cooked in your favorite method. I grilled mine...but I grill everything. Baked would be just fine, and I actually think pan seared with a little butter might be better than grilled.
When the chicken is done plate it up, drop a dose of the sauce on top, and go to town.
