The Easiest and Best Way to Dice a Mango No Mess

Instructions:

1. Stand the mango upright, stem end facing up. Identify the flat, narrow sides – these run along either side of the large, flat seed.
2. Using your chef's knife, slice down lengthwise on either side of the seed, as close to the seed as possible. You should now have three pieces: two 'cheeks' and the seed with remaining flesh.
3. Take one mango cheek (skin side down). Using your knife, score the flesh in a grid pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin.
4. Gently push the skin side up to invert the cheek, creating a 'hedgehog' appearance.
5. Either slice off the cubes with your knife, or use a spoon to scoop them out.
6. Carefully peel away the skin from the mango seed. Cut away as much of the remaining flesh as possible. Dice this flesh and add it to your cubes.
