Ingredients

  • 3 medium sized tomatoes
  • 2 habanero peppers (or more for hotter salsa - I used 10 habaneros)
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 Jalapeno peppers
  • 1 medium sized mango peeled and chopped (choose a mango not overly soft)
  • 1 juice from 1 lime
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to broil.
  2. Slice tomatoes in half and set them onto a lightly oiled baking sheet.
  3. Remove stems from habaneros and jalapenos and slice in half lengthwise. Set them onto the baking sheet.
  4. Stem and de-seed the bell peppers. Slice into quarters lengthwise and set on the baking sheet.
  5. Broil not too close to the heat source for 15 minutes.
  6. Heat a sauté pan to medium heat. Add olive oil and mango.
  7. Remove habaneros and continue to broil tomatoes another 5-10 minutes or until skins have greatly loosened.
  8. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  9. While the other ingredients are broiling, sauté the mango in a bit of oil for about 6-8 minutes or until mango starts to brown slightly.
  10. Transfer to a food processor.
  11. Peal skins from tomatoes, jalapenos and bell peppers and add to a food processor.
  12. Add habaneros, lime juice, cilantro and salt to taste. Process until smooth.
  13. Transfer to a bowl and cover. Refrigerate about 4 hours to allow flavors to mingle. Or you can enjoy the salsa right away.

Notes

  • Heat Factor: Medium-Hot. You'll definitely get some good heat from the habanero peppers. Looking to up that heat factor? Add in more habanero peppers, or bring in a ghost pepper.
