Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
  • 1-2 habanero peppers, seeded and minced (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Warm olive oil: Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat to prepare the base for sautéing.
  2. Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for about 60 seconds until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden, enhancing the sauce’s aroma.
  3. Add main ingredients: Stir in chopped mango, habanero peppers, honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, and salt to combine all flavors.
  4. Simmer mixture: Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Rest sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Blend to texture: Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the sauce to your preferred smooth or slightly chunky consistency.
  7. Adjust seasoning: Taste the sauce and tweak seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or honey to balance flavors.
  8. Store properly: Transfer the finished sauce into a clean jar or bottle, refrigerate, and use within two weeks for best freshness.

Notes

  • Seed habanero peppers carefully and adjust the quantity based on your spice preference.
  • Use a ripe mango for natural sweetness and better flavor.
  • This sauce pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce.
  • Refrigerate after opening and consume within two weeks.
  • Use gloves when handling habanero peppers to avoid skin irritation.
