Leafy Mangoes
Material
One green mango
Equipment
Sharp-pointed knife
Carving knife
Instructions
1. Wash the mango. Around the stem of each, cut five rounded petals as in the picture.
2. Remove the remaining skin. With the knife tip, cut leaves of equal size radiating from the petals around the circumference of the fruit.
3. With the tip of the carving knife, give the leaves graceful curves, and then cut grooves to represent the midribs and veins. When finished, remove some flesh from under the leaves.
4. Make the second circle of leaves in the same way, centering them between those of the first circle. Continue until the entire fruit is carved.
