Tips for making this citrusy hot sauce
This Spicy Mango Jalapeño Mango Sauce is what citrus dreams are made of. It is tangy, hot and super easy to prepare. Here are some tips to get the best result:
- Cutting a mango can be a challenge, and I struggle with it too. To make it easier for I researched a little and found this guide very helpful.
- Jalapeño peppers can vary in heat, based on the type and growing conditions. Add less of it first and taste after blending the ingredients and before cooking the sauce. If it is too mild, add more jalapeño. How much you use in the end depends on your taste and chilli tolerance.
- Serve with my easy Crispy Baked Sesame Chicken Tenders, roast and grilled meat, seafood or tofu. Also, drizzle it into your wraps and tacos for a fruity and spicy twist.
