Ingredients
- 2 mangoes
- 2 habanero peppers
- 3 beefsteak tomatoes
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to broil at 500℉.
- De-core and quarter the tomatoes, slice the onion in half, remove the stem from the peppers, and slice the garlic in half. Place all on a large sheet pan and drizzle with oil. Broil for 5 minutes on the top shelf.
- Add all broiled ingredients to a blender with the mango, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend for 15 seconds – 1 minute until desired consistency.
Notes
- Consistency:If you want a chunkier salsa, only do a few quick pulses in the blender or food processor to keep the chunks larger. If you want a smooth salsa or just small chunks, puree until for a bit longer. The more you blend it, the more liquidy it gets.
- If you want a really chunky salsa in a pico de gallo type fashion, just dice up the ingredients and toss together instead of pulsing together in a blender or food processor.
- Wear gloves/wash your hands: These peppers are really really spicy, so I recommend either wearing gloves or immediately washing your hands after handling them. If you touch something on your face or anywhere else after touching habanero peppers, you run the risk of it really burning / stinging.
- Customize the spice: To tone down the spice level of the salsa, I'd recommend removing the seeds of the peppers. This can be done by carefully cutting them in half after broiling (keep them whole for broiling) and then scraping the seeds out - definitely wear gloves or be very careful for this.
