Tips

  • The barbecue stays hot and mangoes don’t stew its best not to overcrowd the barbecue plate, so you may need to cook in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your barbecue.
  • These mojito mango cheeks are delicious served at room temperature or chilled.
  • For a child friendly option, replace the rum with coconut milk or coconut water and lime with orange juice.
