The combination of Asian pears, sweet mango, and chopped dates come together to create a memorable condiment in this quick and easy entrée. Asian pears are juicy, round, and crunchy with just a hint of sweetness. If you can’t find them, use two ripe Bosc pears instead. Traditionally, chow chow leans to the tangy side, but this one is more decidedly sweet and would be wonderful paired with pork or white fish, too, or used as a topping for cheese and crackers. You can also prepare this in a grill pan indoors. Just preheat the pan to medium-high heat; the cook times are the same.
