NOTES
1. Mango:
Let everything cool quickly.
- Soft and juicy and wonderfully sweet. Remove the skin and pit and cut into small cubes. Here you will find a video where I show you how you can do that quickly and easily in two ways.
- You can also use frozen mango.
- Cut the broccoli into florets and place in a pan. Top up with cold water and bring to a boil. Let it cook until you can easily pierce it with a fork (you may still feel some resistance if you like a bite).
- Broccoli can also be steamed. Add the broccoli florets to a steamer basket over boiling water and cover. Steam for 3 to 8 minutes.
Let everything cool quickly.
- Refrigerator: Keep everything covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freezer: Pack the drumsticks with mango in a freezer box (this is more convenient because of the sauce). You can freeze the broccoli and rice separately. Let thaw in the refrigerator.
- Reheat: Heat in a pan until it is hot. You can also put it in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake at 320 °F (160 °C) for 20 minutes, or until completely hot.
