Sarina’s Tropical Mango Hot Sauce (recipe)

Tropical Mango Hot Sauce

I can’t believe it’s already been a month since the last installment of “Waiter There’s Something in my…”! Where did the time go? This time around the theme was sauces. Originally I had thought of coming up with a pasta sauce as I haven’t made pasta in a while, however over the past week we have been flooded with mangoes (from friends and neighbours). The influx of this fragrant ingredient made me ponder the possibilities. What about a sweet (but fiery) mango sauce?

This recipe couldn’t be simpler to assemble and prepare. Tropical mangoes and pineapple bits mingled with sweet carrots, tomatoes. A scotch bonnet pepper provides the prerequisite heat and Angostura bitters adds a hint of ‘brightness’ to the mix :)

This sauce is ideal for serving on top of grilled vegetables, meats or fish. I can also see it being great on top of quesadillas or being an unexpected alternative to ketchup on burgers and hot dogs. It’s also wonderful served on the side of other dishes as a traditional ‘hot sauce’. It’s the perfect way to add a fruity, tropical touch to everyday dining :)

    Ooooh, a scotch bonnet! This is a fiery sauce, indeed. I say the hotter the better! I make a mango and pineapple salsa similar to this, so I know I’d love your sauce.

    Susan, Chris, Joey – So glad to see that many share my mango love :D hehehe. I’m sure that salsa is the best Susan. I actually got the inspiration to throw in some pineapple from salsa :) – cross pollination, the more the merrier! :D

    Hey Sarina,

    Are they alphonso mangoes that you’ve used here? I only ask because from the photo I can see that they’re quite different in appearance to the standard mangoes we get in Britain. I’ve seen mangoes that look similar to yours, but I didn’t investigate their name

    Trig – Dad calls the doudouce :D I don’t know if they are called Alphonso in other places? That isn’t a mango name that rings a bell, but it may be the same thing :D I have a post on the mango varieties we have here with more pics coming in a few days :D

    Waiter, it is time to get Saucy!

    Feeling a little frisky with the sauce, misses? Perhaps a little whisk and turn while the husbands away? (Amazing what Radio 2 can do!). Amazing what people get up to when your back is turned… Lets take, at total random,…
