Havin' fun with my habs...
I Bought a flat of mangos at the local Costco a couple weeks
ago and decided to make some mango-habanero salsa...had to use
storebought habaneros 'cause mine hadn't started to ripen yet.
I'd come across a recipe for mango-hab salsa that called for
half a habanero, minced...definetly on the wimpy side. I decided
to add the other half of the habanero and a diced Fresno chile
for good measure. That helped some, but it was still on the mild
side. Being down to last of my mangos (and they were ripening
fast), I decided to make the salsa last night to spoon over some
grilled boneless chicken thighs. This time I used one of the
larger-than-usual (about two and a half inches, shoulder to tip)
habaneros I've been harvesting this year. That's all the fresh
chile it needed...nice taste, nice heat.
Mango and Habanero Salsa
1 - large ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
1 - large habanero chile, seeded and diced
1/4 - large red onion, minced
1/4 cup - fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon - salt
1/2 teaspoon - ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon - gound white pepper
juice from one fresh lime
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend thoroughly.
Refrigerate for one hour before serving to allow flavours to
blend.
