So I've had this recipe that is a Tim-Kroll-original I've been waiting to pull out for a while now. I think 126 days is sufficient time to let your excitement build. I even had several thousand people email me daily, and so after much thought I have decided to share this goodness to the world.
It is very rare that I get such strong cravings as this one, but I think it was because this was destined to happen..or something like that. I had a hankering for mango salsa. Now don't laugh, especially because I don't think I had ever had this craving before and it was new to me too. To be honest, I didn't even know how to make it. But that is where fun and creativity come in and makes cooking so much fun and adventurous. I read up on various styles of mango salsa and made what sounded like a winner of a recipe!
I know you can't wait any more and I've run out of ways to stall, so here is my now world famous Mango Salsa recipe:
TK Mango Salsa
Ingredients
1 ripe, chopped mango (medium to large)
2 chopped Roma tomatoes
1/4 cup finely sliced red onions
1 minced, deseeded, small jalepeno (add more if you like spice)
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons sliced cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt (add more to taste)
Take the mango and chop it into small, bite-size pieces (we like our salsa chunky, so we cut our mango into bigger pieces). An easy trick for cutting a mango is to stand it up right and cut two pieces off on just either side of the center pit. Score the mango fruit into smaller pieces (but not through the peel) and turn the fruit inside out to cut the fruit away from the peel. I then cut as much fruit off the pit as I can.
Remove the seeds from the tomato and chop into similar sized pieces and add to the mango. Finely slice the red onions and add to the mango and tomatoes. Remove the seeds from the jalepeno and mince it up and toss in with the other ingredients. Add the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, cilantro and salt and stir salsa together. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors combine and get happy. Congratulations, you have now made the world a happier place with your mango salsa!
As you can see in the pictures we enjoyed the salsa with some fish tacos, but it can be enjoyed with chips, rice and beans, fish filets, and really most anything that needs a little something extra.
Let me know what you think! Oh, and don't worry, you won't have to wait 126 days for the next recipe...promise....cross my heart (but won't hope to die and stick a needle in my eye as that is a little gruesome, isn't it? So I won't, I'll just promise).
