Culantro And Mango Salsa
- 1 bunch Culantro (not cilantro) leaves
- 3 Mangoes, Ripe is best,de skinned and diced
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup white onion
- 1 lime
- 1/2 Jamaican habanero pepper or to taste
- 1/2 cup water
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Place diced mangoes in a serving dish.
- Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over it.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and keep aside
- In a blender blend together, Culantro, water, garlic and Jamaican hot pepper (it is a short red pepper with major heat so if you do not like spicy foods use very little of this or omit it but it is the ingredient that gives this dish a kick against the sweet mango)
- Pour the blended mixture over the mango and refrigerate for 15 min before serving.Can be eaten alone if your brave or with tortilla chips.
- Note: Do not confuse the Herb Culantro with Cilantro, they look nothing alike. It is available at many Asian and or Jamaican markets. If you cannot find it then you may substitute Cilantro for a less dramatic effect :-)
