Mango Carpaccio with Cinnamon

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh mint leaves
1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 ripe mangoes

Yield: 4 servings

RECIPE

Put the sugar in a small saucepan with the lemon juice, 1 mint leaf, and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Stir until the sugar is well dissolved. Remove the mint leaf and add the cinnamon. Let cool.

Cut the mangoes into halves, running a sharp knife around the pits to detach. Peel and slice thinly. Arrange the slices on 4 serving dishes and drizzle with the sugar syrup. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Decorate with mint leaves when ready to serve.

FRENCH WOMAN'S MANIFESTO

French women eschew extreme temperatures in what they consume, and enjoy fruits and vegetables bursting with flavor at room temperature, at which they prefer their water, too.
