Ingredients

  • 3 medium sized tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 sliced habanero pepper, de-seeded for a milder spice
  • 1 medium sized mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice tomatoes in half and drizzle all over with olive oil.
  • Arrange tomatoes face down on baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, remove from oven. Add sliced habanero pepper, diced mango and chopped red pepper to baking pan alongside tomatoes.
  • Bake for another 15 minutes.
  • Then, remove from oven. Add contents to a blender. Add in cilantro and sea salt to blender.
  • Blend on high for 5 to 30 seconds. The longer you blend, the thinner this salsa will become.
  • Finally, either serve warm immediately or store in fridge unless ready to consume.

Notes

  • Fresh tomatoes (not canned) yield the best result.  Canned can be used, but this salsa won't taste quite as fresh.
  • Habanero peppers are VERY hot!  Feel free to omit for a very mild salsa.
  • De-seed habanero peppers for a medium spiced salsa.  Leave seeds in for a VERY spicy salsa.
  • Fresh or frozen mango chunks work.
  • Blend salsa until desired consistency is reached.  For a chunky salsa, only about 5 seconds of blending time is needed.  For a very thin salsa, blend for about 30 seconds.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • This recipe can be made without roasting the ingredients.  Just blend everything together and serve.  The roasting adds a ton of flavor, but this can be made much quicker without it.
