Mango Salsa of the Tropics

[californiagirl]

Yup- I've heard Rachel Ray, Sarah Moulton and Bobby Flay all refer to it as that.... I just short hand whenever possible.

The recipe has both the sweet and semi-hot peppers. Red bell and jalepeno. All the ingredients tend to balance the others out and you don't end up with that spicy hot tingling on your tongue. Although, if we were talking about my once a week salsa, I completely agree with you.

6-8 vine ripe tomatoes, (hot house just aren't the same)
2-4 garlic cloves
1-2 jalepenos
1 cup chopped cilantro
6-8 green onion/scallion
salt/pepper to taste
2-3 TBSP red wine vinegar
2-3 TBSP lime juice
1-2 tsp EVOO
hot sauce to taste

I pulse the garlic, jalepenos, grn onion separately in a mini chopper, (due to allergies, cuts down on the crying- only thing that works). Everything gets tossed into my food processor and pulsed until restaurant consistency. (I don't care for my regular salsa to be chunky.)

That recipe tends to be good and hot...
