Ingredients:

3 cups

Milk

6 cups

Sugar

1 cup

Pistachio

2 cups

Water

Directions:

1

For the lime sherbet, in a saucepan, whisk together the milk and sugar over a medium flame, until the sugar is dissolved

2

Remove the mixture from heat and cool over an ice bath

3

Stir in the lime juice, and then process in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions

4

For the dressing, combine the mango puree, asafetida, salt, and sugar in a bowl and whisk together until mixed

5

While whisking slowly drizzle in the oil, and continuing to whisk until an emulsification is reached

6

For the salad, slice the mango thinly or use a peeler and peel the flesh into long strips

7

Toss the mango strips, mache, pistachios, and crystallized ginger with the dressing, and then arrange in a small mound on the plate

8

On top, set a scoop of the lime sherbet

9

Begin by gently peeling the skin from two lobes of ginger

10

Using a knife or peeler tends to remove too much flesh; a less wasteful method is to use the edge of a spoon

11

Slice both lobes lengthwise into thin pieces, using a mandoline or knife

12

Add 2 cups water and 2 cups of the sugar to a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat

13

Reduce the heat, add the ginger, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they are soft

14

Remove the ginger pieces using a strainer and cool briefly

15

Spread the remaining 4 cups of sugar on a baking sheet and dredge the ginger pieces in the sugar until both sides are entirely covered

16

Transfer the ginger to another baking sheet and air dry for several hours, until crisp

17

Cut into short, 2-inch sticks

18

Place in an airtight container
