An oldie but a goodie, though I originally posted this recipe for a tropical and delicious vegetarian version of the Cuban classic, picadillo, last year, this warm weather has convinced me to relive its deliciousness and share it over at Marcus Samuelsson’s blog! Please go over and check it out!

Delicious! Love tropical fruits like mango as the weather warms up (unseasonably so!). I have to admit though – it’s those almonds on top that make me want to dig right into this dish!
Mangoes = deliciousness! I love when it’s time for all the good fruits to be back in season.
I made this one – it is fabulous!
This really is a lovely recipe, Joanne. It’s nice to know that local fruit will soon be on its way and we can again enjoy salads such as this. Congratulations on your Sunday marathon, Bravo!!! Have a great day. Blessings…Mary
Loce those oldies but goodies!
YUM! This looks perfect for warm weather! Will be making this soon!
Yum – definitely trying this one. And the tomato soup from the other day. (I was away from blogs for a few days and must read that one. Yum.)
Great recipe! I am going to have to check it out!!
Anything with lentils and mangoes. Lovely!
So spring-like! My daughter loves mangoes. I’m ready to leave the winter fare behind now and this is the perfect thing to end an 83-degree day! Thanks for reposting – it’s entirely new to me, of course. 🙂
I love sweetness from fruit added to normally savory dinners – mango is a fantastic way to jazz up lentils!
This is so unique! What an awesome idea. You always come up with the yummiest stuff. Keep it coming!…and move next door to me.
What a creative and yummy picadillo recipe!
This looks delicious! I’m an omnivore, but I’m planning to become vegetarian for a week. Definitely cookmarking this recipe so I can make it!
this looks great! can’t wait to try it – i’m not giving up meat completely but i’m trying to cut back a bit. i love lentils and this looks like a delicious recipe. thanks 🙂
Yum, LOVE that you used mango. Have you ever tried cooking with green mango? It’s kind of tangy and lovely in lentil dhal/stew type things. I’ve never actually used ripe mango in savoury dishes like this so this so I’ll be trying this one out… Thanks Joanne!
Interesting. I’ve never tried this before. But I loove having adventures with foreign exotic food!
Time for me to try this delicious recipe out within the next few days for sure.
Thanks for posting it,
Grandma Kat
XOXOXOXOXO
Only you Joanne can make a lentil dish look fantastic!!!!
Next time I make my version I must add mango and almonds!
mmmm. lentils are pure love in tiny little legume disks.
Love lentils, looks delicious!
You know what’s crazy? I actually remember this post! You sure know how to make an impression (and I mean that in a totally good way).
YAY, I’m a fan of tropical anything!
This looks and sounds delicious! I have a whole jar of lentils…hummm!
Dear Joanne, I just love lentils. I would very much enjoy this. blessings my dear, Catherine xoxo
What an incredible, unique and flavorful dish Joanne!
I love that plate, not so big of a fan of lentils but I could always give them another try.
we love lentils and this sounds delicious!
I love the addition of mango, so delicious!
Oh, I’m glad you decided to relive this one. Cuban and mangoes sounds just perfect. I’ve never attempted Cuban food before!
Mangoes with lentils! Who would have ever thought? But they sound divine together. A little touch of the tropics is always welcome.
I wish I could get my husband to eat lentils… he just doesn’t dig them. Maybe this dish would make him change his mind?!?
Hi Joanne! This is my first time being here and I’m excited to check out your blog after writing comments. 🙂 I’m too shamed to say that I haven’t tried lentils in my cooking yet. I see a lot of great recipes like yours but its’ something new and I just need to try one day. Lentil and mango sounds great combination! Heading over now.
Your food is always so colourful Joanne, with so many flavours. This looks like a great dish that would not only taste good but be good for you xx
Mango picadillo sounds amazing on its own but I love the idea of turning it into a meal with lentils .. I would probably like it with chickpeas too!
Great recipe. I love lentils. Great job in the marathon this past Sunday! And congrats on winning the Saucy Mama contest! I have a question, how do you have time to make all these recipes and study at NYU ? You are definitely a super woman! 🙂
Lentils and mangos sound awesome together!
If you’re posting it again that’s probably a sure-fire sign it needs to be made by me.
I d love to have this in summer when the mangos start to fall. looks great joanne!
So glad you reposted this one. The addition of mango is brilliant! Hello spring and summer!
I love lentils and mangoes and never though to combine them. Great recipe.
Looks so refreshing but also hearty! Can’t wait to try it on the deck this summer 🙂
LOving everything about this!!
I found three bags of lentils in the corner of a large drawer, in 3 different colors. I had no idea, I had these. You use lentils enough, I know, I will be able to use them up.
Very colorful recipe i like mangoes so i can eat different dishes using mangoes.Thank you for providing the new and tasty recipe.
