Mango and chilli-glazed ham with tomato and mango sambal.William MeppemThis recipe is as much about my Malaysian heritage as it is a celebration of Christmas in Australia. Like Australia,Malaysia is warm and sunny in December,and mangoes and chillies are plentiful. In south-east Asia mangoes and chillies are frequently teamed in savoury dishes. This is how the delicious glaze with rum and local honey was born. In Malaysia,we serve ham with salads and a host of condiments. I believe this tomato and mango sambal is the perfect accompaniment.
