David Ortiz's Spicy Mango Salsa

So David Ortiz is a baseball player here in Boston. And as a well known person in the area he gets endorsement deals for local products. But one of the things they also show is "I found a great recipe for mango salsa. then he tries it and goes "Ooohhh Mama!" waving his hand to brush away the heat.

Any hoo, I tried looking this up on the internet. Could not find David Ortiz's mango salsa recipe, but I found something that could, in theory produce "Oooohhhh Mama!" effects.

I made it and suffice to say, it did not make me go "Ooohhh Mama!". I was somewhat disappointed, but still undaunted. I decided to take another shot at making Mango Salsa.

The recipe was this:

2.5 mangos, sliced and chopped
.5 mangos pureed in food processor.
1 small shallot
1 jalepeno pepper
1 habenero pepper
1 lime
1/2 c. to 3/4 c. cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Cut up the mangos and dice them into nice sized chunks, but not too big. Take half of a mango's worth of slices and blend in a food processor. Add mango puree to mango chunks. Throw in Shallot, jalepeno, habenero, cilantro and lime juice to food processor and blend to a fine consistency.

If you don't have a food processor, chop ingredients as fine as you can and mash with a potatoe masher. Mix in the pepper/cilantro/lime juice mixture to mangos and stir thoroughly. Add salt and pepper as needed.

This batch of David Ortiz mango salso really did produce the "ooohhh mama!" results. A bit TOO well. The Ickabetty's mouth was on fire. My mouth was really hot until I drank some milk. So I'm going to cool it down with another 2 mangos, sliced and chopped next time. And I'll only use 1/2 a habenero pepper.

Enjoy!
