Marinated tamarind and pickled mangoes

As a child, Nornie Bero used to skip confirmation classes to pick mangoes and tamarind pods that she would pickle in glass bottles to sell to locals in her town. She shares her many years of expert pickling advice in this recipe that highlights the beauty of using native pepperberries for peppery flavour.

Ingredients

  • 1 pack tamarind pods
  • ½ cup (125 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp whole pepperberries
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • A pinch sumac
For the raw mango pickle
  • 1 half-ripened mango (or green mango)
  • 300 ml water
  • 100 ml white vinegar
  • 2 tsp caster sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground chilli
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp whole pink peppercorns
Marinating time: 10 minutes

Chilling time: 2 hours

Instructions

  1. Peel the tamarind pods to remove the exterior husk, retaining the membrane to keep the pods connected. Place the tamarind pods into a large, heatproof bowl.
  2. Heat the oil, pepperberries, bay leaves and a pinch of sumac in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, pour the aromatic oil over the tamarind and allow to stand for 5-10 minutes before using.
  3. To make the mango pickle, peel and thinly slice the mango and place into a prepared preserving jar. Heat the remaining ingredients for the mango pickle in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then pour the spiced pickling bring over the mango, seal and refrigerate.
