Equipment
- electric chopper or blender
- baking tray if roasting vegetables in oven
- skewers if roasting vegetables on the grill
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced 250 grams or 9 ounces
- 1 medium habanero pepper
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, drained
- ½ small yellow onion 125 grams or 4½ ounces
- 2 cloves garlic
- 8 stems fresh curly parsley, leaves only 28 grams or 1 ounce
- high-heat oil if roasting vegetables in the oven
Instructions
Roast the Vegetables
Instructions for the Grill
- Skewer the onion, habanero pepper & garlic. Place the skewer on the grate of the grill directly over the heat and allow them to roast for 5-7 minutes. They should appear wrinkled with some blistered & brown spots once done
Instructions for the Oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Brush the onion, habanero pepper and the garlic cloves lightly with oil then place on a baking sheet. Bake on the tap rack of your oven for 5-10 minutes until the habanero pepper is blistered and the onion and garlic are slightly browned.
Make the Salsa
- Once the vegetables have finished roasting add them to a blender along with half of the diced mangos, the diced tomatoes, parsley and the salt. Pulse until the salsa smoothens but it is still a bit chunky. Avoid continuously blending as you'll end up with more of a purée.
- Add the rest of the diced mango to the salsa and serve with your favorite chips or as a topping for your favorite tacos.If not serving immediately store the salsa in an airtight container until ready.
Notes
- Choose a mango that ins't too fibrous. Tommy Atkins & Alphonso mangos are perfect for this salsa. Canned mangos will also work for this recipe but be sure to drain them!
- Don't dice the vegetables before roasting. This allows them to retain more flavor and moisture.
- If using a grill to roast the vegetables the flames should not engulf the skewer. This will cause the vegetables to burn resulting in an unsavory taste. Either wait for the flames to settle down or place the skewer in an offset position next to the flames. You can also utilize the top shelf of your grill if you have one.
- Canned tomatoes are used since they are already peeled & cooked. If you opt for fresh tomatoes, roast them along with the onion & habanero and peel before adding to the blender
