Green Mango & Carrot Salad
By my friend Venkat!
Ingredients
Carrots
Green Mangoes (preferably Thothapuri, the non-sour one)
Green chillies
Onion
Tomatoes
Salt
Lemon
Procedure
Grate or cut the carrots and mangoes into very fine pieces.
Chop onions, chillies and tomatoes into fine pieces.
Add salt and mix everything together.
Squeeze some lemon juice on to this. It's ready!
He says it's even tastier if you keep it for a few hours.

Pasta with Raw Fresh Tomato Sauce
Salsa di Pomodoro Cruda – Raw Fresh Tomato Sauce – serves 4
Ripe Tomatoes – 4 large chopped into small cubes with juices and skin
Garlic – 4 or 5 medium cloves chopped extra fine
Basil – two large handfuls of basil leaves, no stems, chopped VERY fine
Olive Oil – 8 tablespoons of Extra Virgin, preferably a nice dark green oil
Sea Salt – 1 tablespoon or to taste
Black Pepper – 1 to 2 tablespoon extra coarsely ground
Pecorino Romano Cheese – 8 heaping tablespoons, grated
Spaghetti or Macaroni – 1 lb.
Mix all of these (except for the pasta, naturally – just checking to see if you’re paying attention) into a large high sided bowl and allow them to marinate while you cook your pasta.
Stir the mixture well so that the tomatoes begin to macerate and watch to see if it thickens. If it doesn’t, add a bit more olive oil at a time until it does. A shallow dish will not do for this.
Cook your pasta until it is extra firm in well salted water. The second it is done, drain it well, and throw it into the raw tomato mixture and stir or toss like you would a salad, making sure every bit of pasta is covered with the mixture.
