Best Habanero Mango Salsa
Description
Best Habanero Mango Salsa uses fresh, medium-sized tomatoes roasted with olive oil to bring out a sweet depth of flavor, setting a rich base for this vibrant salsa. Habanero peppers contribute a significant heat, which can be moderated by removing seeds if desired. Sweet diced mango and sliced red pepper add both fruitiness and texture, balanced by fresh cilantro and sea salt to enhance the overall flavor profile.
After roasting the ingredients separately and together, the mixture is blended to the preferred consistency, from chunky to thin. The salsa can be served immediately warm or stored chilled in the refrigerator, making it suitable for a range of uses such as topping grilled meats, tacos, or as a dip.
Roasting rather than using raw ingredients creates a deeper, more complex flavor but the recipe can be prepared quickly by blending all raw ingredients directly for a fresh, bright alternative. Storage in an airtight container keeps the salsa fresh for up to a week.
Ingredients
- 3 tomato medium sized
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 habanero pepper de-seeded for a milder spice, sliced
- 1 Mango peeled and diced, medium sized
- 1 red pepper sliced
- 2 tbsp cilantro fresh
- ½ tsp salt sea salt
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice tomatoes in half and drizzle all over with olive oil.
- Arrange tomatoes face down on baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove from oven. Add sliced habanero pepper, diced mango and chopped red pepper to baking pan alongside tomatoes.
- Bake for another 15 minutes.
- Then, remove from oven. Add contents to a blender. Add in cilantro and sea salt to blender.
- Blend on high for 5 to 30 seconds. The longer you blend, the thinner this salsa will become.
- Finally, either serve warm immediately or store in fridge unless ready to consume.
Notes
- Use fresh tomatoes rather than canned for a fresher flavor; canned tomatoes can soften taste.
- Remove habanero seeds for milder heat, or leave them in for maximum spice.
- Use fresh or frozen mango chunks according to availability without affecting flavor.
- Blend longer for thinner consistency, shorter for chunkier texture.
- Store leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- This salsa can be prepared without roasting for a quicker, fresher alternative.
