Sweet and Spicy Mango Sauce (Mango Sour)
Description
The perfect mango sauce for dipping, drizzling, and pouring. It's easy to make and perfect to eat all year round as a complement to your favorite dishes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups green mangoes, cubed (about 2 mangoes)
- 3 cups water
- 6-8 cloves garlic
- 3 wiri wiri peppers (half of a habanero)
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
Instructions
Add all your ingredients (except salt) to a saucepan. Cover halfway and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes or until the mangoes and garlic can be mashed easily with a fork.
Remove from heat and take out the pepper and place it in a bowl. Mash the pepper with a fork and set it aside.
Add the cooked mangoes and garlic to a blender and blend until smooth. Add water if needed.
Stir in the mashed peppers to add hints of red throughout the sauce
Add salt and adjust to your liking
Note
- The greener the mango the more sour it will be. I like to use mangoes that are now starting to be ripe. They are firm and still a bit acidic but will have a bit of sweetness to them and will yield a rich yellow color.
- This recipe makes about 3 1/2 cups of sauce.
- You can freeze in batches to use later.
