Fusion-style: Stir-fry with Spanish chorizo and mango

As a result of increasing globalisation, cultures, people but also cuisines find their ways across borders. It gives people a chance to open up their eyes and taste pupils to the unfamiliar and let their 'little minds' be inspired. As flavours and techniques of different cuisines intertwine, we get to realise how much culinary beauty the world has to offer and how well certain ingredients may actually match with flavours that are familiar to us. This so called 'Fusion-style' of cooking is the result of limitless creativity, guts and the desire to create something new by combining the unknown with what we already have.

This dish is a surprising combination of Asia, Spain and the tropics: an undiscovered place in Paradise. Pack your bags and be ready to be swept off your feet by the sweetness of the mango, which perfectly matches the spicy chorizo and chili's. Hopefully bringing you a new, bursting flavour combination that evokes a little holiday feeling :)
