Mango Salsa

Pretty easy Mango Salsa to make for a topping on fish or chicken or perhaps just for a snack.

Ingredients:

2 fresh red (fresno) chillies
2 ripe mangoes
1/2 white onion
bunch of coriander (cilantro)
Juice of 1 lime

Directions:Dry fry the chillies in a frying pan till the skin is scorched. Once scorched place the chillies in a zip lock bag and seal for about 20 mins. Meanwhile cut off a thick slice the mango close to the flat side of the stone. Then turn it around and do the same on the other side. Slice the flesh on each think slice with criss-cross lines at about 1/2 inch intervals, do not cut through the skin. Repeat with the second mango. 


Fold the the mango halves inside out so the mango flesh stands out. Slice each piece off the skin and into a bowl. Cut the pieces to the size desired.

Remove the chillies from the bag and carefully peel off the skin. Cut off the stalk, slice in half and de-seed.

Chop the onion and the coriander finely and add them to the diced mango. Chop the chillies finely and add it the mixture. Add the lime juice and mix. Cover and chill for about 1 hour.

Enjoy :)

@ACHanson Your welcome. It is a bit on the spicy side so you could always use one chilli instead of two. Unless you like it hot. This is a great recipe for sure though. Let me know how it turns out.
