6th Course: Mango Ribbons (by ulterior epicure)
This is… unique. The texture of ripe mangos in this form would probably creep me out, but it depends what it’s served with, I suppose. Looks like, Mango coulis, sorbet, gelatin, creme fresh and whatever the hell that round thing is…

inihaw na baboy, philippine-style grilled meats: recipe here
pronounced: ee-KNEE-how na BAH-boy
Makes 14 to 16 cookies
1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lime zest (from 2 large limes)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 large limes)
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon lime zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juicePreheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using hand beaters), cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the lime zest and vanilla and mix until just combined. Scrape down the bowl. Add the eggs and lime juice and mix to incorporate, about 30 seconds. If your mixture seems to separate at this point, don’t worry. It will come together again when you begin to add the flour.
Slowly add the flour mixture in three stages, mixing to incorporate in between each addition.
Using an ice cream scooper or large tablespoon, scoop out the dough in heaping 1-inch balls and place 2-inches apart on a parchment-lined (or greased) baking sheet. Lightly press down on each ball with the palm of your hand, slightly flattening each into a disk shape.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until no longer soft in the middle and ever-so-slightly golden on the edges.
Meanwhile, make the icing: whisk together the powdered sugar, lime zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Once out of the oven, allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before icing. Spread glaze over the tops of each cookie. Let sit 1 hour to allow glaze to firm up.
If stored in an airtight container, cookies will remain good for up to 3 days.
