Material

  • One green mango

Equipment

  • Sharp-pointed knife
  • Carving knife

Instructions

  • Wash the mango and slice the flesh away from the seed on both sides.
  • Form the central bud by making a circular cut, with the carving knife and then rounding off the flesh in the center.
  • With the carving knife, cut eight pointed petals radiating from the center and then remove flesh from beneath them so that they stand out.
  • Make the second circle of petals in the same way, centering them between those of the first circle. When complete, gently separate the flower from the remaining flesh.
