Ingredients

Platter

1 fresh pineapple

1 ripe, but firm, mango and/or papaya

450 gram can lychees, drained and halved

1 medium, hot long red chilli, chopped, halve and remove seeds first if preferred

small coriander leaves and flowers, to garnish (optional)

Peanut Dipping Sauce

5 tablespoon crunchy organic peanut butter – i used pic’s

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce*

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon peeled, finely grated ginger

1 small hot red chilli, chopped

2 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon runny honey

1 clove garlic, crushed

Method

1.Remove skin from pineapple and scoop out ‘eyes’ (the little hard bits). Cut pineapple in half, slice out thick cores and discard, then slice the flesh. Peel mango and slice off cheeks and any flesh. Cut into slim wedges (if using papaya, scoop out seeds then peel and cut into slim wedges).

2.For the dipping sauce, put all ingredients in a liquidizer or food processor and blend. If the mixture is really thick, thin it with a little warm water (around 2-3 tbsp).

3.Assemble the fruit on a platter then scatter with chopped chilli and coriander leaves and flowers, if using. Serve with a small bowl of peanut dipping sauce.
