Caribbean mango & lime sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Sauces and Gravies
The genius of tropical cuisine lies in the harmony of contrasts. The lush sweetness of mango and the sharp acidity of lime dance in this sauce. It's not just about flavour, but texture too: the fruit fibres serve as a natural thickener. A perfect example of how to make a full-bodied, creamy sauce without fat.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Blender: For a smooth texture.
  • Sieve: In case the mango is too fibrous.

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the stone. Dice it.

Tip: Use only soft, fragrant, ripe mango. Hard mango lacks flavour and has a woody texture.
2 ✓

Grate the ginger.

Tip: Don't put the fibrous parts in, just the pulp and juice.
3 ✓

Place the mango cubes, lime juice, vinegar, honey, and ginger into the blender.

Tip: The acids (lime, vinegar) soften the fibres even 'without cooking'.
4 ✓

Blend until completely smooth.

Tip: If your mango is very fibrous (stringy), pass the puree through a sieve at this point.
5 ✓

Stir in the salt and chilli flakes by hand.

Tip: If you blend the chilli, the whole sauce becomes uniformly hot and reddish. If you mix it in by hand, you keep the nice red specks and the fruity base.
6 ✓

If the puree is too thick, thin it with a little water to the desired sauce consistency.

Tip: This depends on usage: thicker for dipping, thinner for a salad dressing.

Recipe FAQ
