Recipe: Mango-Habanero Sauce (blender)

MANGO-HABANERO SAUCE

2 Tbsp. peanut oil
8 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into large dice
1/2 cup diced white onion
1/2 cup diced carrot
2 fresh orange habanero chiles
1/2 cup champagne vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup sugar
Salt (to taste)

Heat the oil in a saucepan and add mangoes, onion, carrot and habanero chiles. Cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat, until onions are soft and translucent.

Deglaze the pan with vinegar; add ketchup and sugar. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt to taste.

Transfer to a blender, pulse sauce and strain through a medium strainer. If the sauce is too thick add a little water to thin.

Makes about 3 cups
