Curried Ham with Mangoes! In fifteen minutes! I picked up this awesome old cookbook (circa 1987) called Tropic Cooking at the used bookstore up the street and found a really basic recipe for using up leftover ham, which essentially read, “Mix with mangoes and curry powder, then broil.”
How to Make Ham Curry with Mangoes
Step #1: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high. Adjust an oven rack to be about a foot from the heat source. Step #2: Place the ham in an oven-safe casserole dish, then top with the mango pieces. Step #3: Dot the top of the mangoes with the butter, then sprinkle the brown sugar and curry powder on top. Step #4: Broil until the brown sugar starts bubbling, 5-10 minutes (depending on how hot your oven’s broiler is).
Expert Tip
Simmer the Sauce: For enhanced flavor, consider simmering the mango, butter, brown sugar, and curry powder together in a saucepan over medium-high heat before broiling. This method helps blend and You can reheat it in a microwave or in a skillet over medium heat. If using a microwave, cover the dish and heat for 1-2 minutes, stir halfway through to ensure even warming.
