As admitted before I am a huge fan of anything tartare. Since 90 percent of my diet are usually vegan it is very obvious I had to come up with a tasty vegan tartare version. This Mango Green Apple Tartare with Fennel Stock is the perfect starter for your summer menu. You might think this sounds more like a dessert you are wrong. This dish has very savory flavors that make it the perfect starter or main course on a hot summer day.
The fennel stocks adds another dimension to the sweetness of the mango and the apple. If you do not like fennel you could also try the cucumber ginger stock from my tuna tartare.
I love the bright colors, especially the green which is added through the fennel stock around the Mango Green Apple Tartare. Maybe you are not a huge fennel fan, then maybe look at my recipe for Tuna Tartare with Grilled Watermelon. There I added a Cucumber Ginger Stock that would also work with this Mango Green Apple Tartare. Do not worry the Cucumber Ginger Stock is vegan and therefore can be easily added to this vegan dish.
As with any dish the better the ingredients the better the taste of your dish. For this Mango Green Apple Tartare the key are ripe and juicy mangos. Therefore make sure they have the right quality or you will be missing the fun in this dish. Mangos are also very healthy. Since they have lots of pectin and fiber they keep you filled for a while and further add a nice dose of Vitamin C to your diet.
Mangos are loaded with Vitamin C, pectin and fiber. Therefore those yummy fruits can support your health. The enzymes of the mango help your digestion.
