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 the olive oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the garlic.
  2. SautĂ© the garlic: Add the minced garlic cloves to the warmed oil and cook for about 60 seconds until fragrant and lightly golden, enhancing the sauce’s aroma.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the chopped mango, seeded and minced habanero peppers, honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, and salt. Mix well to combine all flavors.
  4. Simmer the sauce: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Rest the sauce: Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Blend the sauce: Use a blender or immersion blender to process the sauce to your preferred texture, from chunky to smooth.
  7. Adjust seasonings: Taste the sauce and add more salt, lime juice, or honey if needed to balance flavors.
  8. Store properly: Transfer the finished sauce to a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate. It can be used cold or warmed for serving.

Notes

  • Adjust habanero quantity based on your desired heat level—remove seeds for milder sauce.
  • Use a ripe mango for maximum sweetness and smooth blending.
  • The sauce keeps well refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
  • Perfect as a glaze for grilled chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.
  • Use gloves when handling habanero peppers to avoid skin irritation.
