Recipe shared by Chef Gaurav Ramakrishnan of the Hyatt Centric MG Road Bangalore

Mango, Corn and Brie Bruschetta

· 1 Baguette sliced to a thickness as per preference

· 100 grams Sweet Corn

· 2 Ripe Alphonso or any Sweet Variety of Mangoes

· 1 Raw Mango, any variety preferred

· 50 Grams Brie Cheese/ any mild cheese

· 20 grams shredded basil

· 1 large tomato

· 100 ml Olive Oil

· Juice of 1 lemon

· 20 grams of sliced jalapenos

· 2 sprigs of fresh thyme chopped

· Salt and pepper to taste

· Micro greens for garnish

Method

1. Cut both ripe and raw mangoes into cubes, preferably size of the corn so that the mixture at the end looks balanced. Chop the tomato into same sized cubes.

2. Saute the corn on high flame with olive oil, chopped thyme and seasoning till the corn is blackened up partially. Once done cool it down.

3. In a bowl mix all the ingredients and the corn. Corn needs to be cooled down before mixing, else the mixture would turn watery. Give a good gentle mix and set aside.

4. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle some salt on the slices of baguette and toast them well on both sides.

5. For assembling the bruschetta, place the toasted slices on a plate, add a heap full spoon of the mixture on the bread, enough to cover the slices.

6. Slice the brie cheese and place them on top of the mixture. Brie/any cheese is sliced at the last moment to avoid the cheese from losing its texture.

7. Garnish with micro greens and serve. Bon appetit.

8.Now add the mutton and let everything cook well. Keep the consistency as dry or runny as you like. Serve hot and enjoy.
