Gingered Mango-Pineapple Wonton Recipe

Ingredients
  • Vegetable cooking spray
  • 24 3 ½-inch square wonton wrappers
  • 2 medium-size fresh, ripe mangoes *
  • 1 15-ounce pineapple tidbits, packed in juice, drained *
  • ½ cup unsalted macadamia nuts, chopped and toasted
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • ¼ cup crystallized ginger, chopped **
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ soft margarine or butter
  • Edible flowers or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions
Before you begin: Wash your hands.
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-muffin tin with the cooking spray. Press two wonton wrappers into each cup in the muffin tin.
  2. Peel and remove seed from the mangos. Cut them into ½-inch pieces. Fill each wonton cup with mango and pineapple, to ¾ full.
  3. Combine the nuts, flour, ginger, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the margarine or butter to the nut-flour mixture; cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter (or use two knives cutting through the mixture at cross angles) to make a coarse crumb. Top the fruit with the nut-flour mixture.
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown, or just bubbling. Serve warm. Garnish with edible flowers or mint if desired.
Cooking Notes
* Substitute any seasonal or tropical fruit, such as ripe papaya, peaches, or berries.
** If unavailable, substitute grated fresh ginger, or dried, chopped apricots.
