Yields: 2 cups
Recipe Author: MJ of MJ's Kitchen
Ingredients
  • 2 cups ripe mango*, diced
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup onion, minced
  • 1 T. Pickled chile peppers*, minced
  • 1 T. Pickled chile pepper vinegar*,
  • 1 tsp. honey or other sweetener (optional)
  • 1/8 tsp. red chile powder*
  • 2 dashes smoked paprika
Instructions
  1. Toss the mango with the lime juice. Transfer to a sauce pan and pureé using an immersion blender.
  2. Heat the mango pureé over medium low heat. Once it starts to boil (be careful, it's thick so it will splatter), add the onion, pickled peppers, vinegar and honey. Continue to heat until onion is soft.
  3. Using the immersion blender, pulse the pureé a few more times to incorporate the onion and peppers even more into the sauce.
  4. Add the red chile powder and a couple dashes of smoked paprika. 

  5. Taste.  Adjust seasoning if needed.

  6. Transfer to a refrigerator container and chill.
Kitchen Notes

Mangos - Use ripe to overripe mango.  Do not use green mangos.

 

Pickled Peppers and Pickled Pepper Brine - If you don't have pickled chile peppers, like jalapeno, then substitute, fresh chile, minced fine. For the pickled pepper vinegar you could substitute rice vinegar.

 

Red Chile Powder

 

NOTE: This does make a very thick sauce. If you want it thinner, add a little liquid (e.g., water, mango juice, orange juice)
