Equipment

  • Food Processor or Blender
  • Sharp Knife

Ingredients

  • ½ White Onion roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • ½ cup Mango purée or 1 mango
  • 4 Habanero Peppers de-stemmed and (optional) de-seeded
  • ¼ cup Rice Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Lime juice 2 limes
  • 1 cup Orange bell pepper roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 3 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Note: It is HIGHLY recommended to use gloves while handling habanero peppers. The oils from these peppers can stay on your skin even after washing, and you risk getting it in your eyes.
  • Begin by giving half of a white onion a rough chop, juice the limes, and roughly chop the orange bell pepper (without the seeds).
  • Peel and remove the seed from the mango. Use a food processor or blender to puree mango completely.
  • Put gloves on. Use a sharp knife to remove the stem from the habanero peppers. Remove the seeds for a milder sauce.
  • Try to keep the peppers mostly whole and intact, so that you know how many you are adding to the sauce.
  • To a food processor or blender, add all of the ingredients except for the habaneros.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Start by adding just one or two habaneros (with or without seeds). Blend, then taste.
  • Add the remaining habaneros if you want more heat. Blend until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust levels of spice, sugar, or salt accordingly.
  • (Optional) You can run this sauce through a mesh strainer if you want a smoother sauce, but I found this to be mostly unnecessary.
  • Serve on tacos, with rice bowls, or on a salad!
