  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro optional garnish

Notes

  • Use ripe mango for natural sweetness and a smooth marinade.
  • Do not over-marinate, as citrus may affect texture.
  • Grill over medium heat to avoid burning sugars in the marinade.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
