A Southwestern-inspired dip
The southwestern United States has its own unique flavors and food traditions. A walk in the farmers market was something we as a family looked forward to. The aromatic flavor of roasted peppers welcomed us and encouraged even the not-so-enthusiastic to cook a dish or two. I came across Mango Salsa in this market and over the years I have learned to make a somewhat decent version of salsa after a trial and error basis. I couldn't help myself but add this salsa recipe even though grilling season has come to an end and Fall has begun. Let me know how it turns out for you!
Ingredients:
1 ripe mango cut into bite-size pieces
2 poblano peppers
a few sweet peppers of your choice
1/2 red onion finely chopped
1-2 serrano peppers cut into small pieces
1/2 tsp chipotle sauce
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp oil
2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
salt to taste
Method:
Roast poblano and sweet peppers until skin is charred. I have used 2 each of red, orange, and yellow peppers.
Keep them in a bowl covered for 30 minutes before peeling the skin.
Cut them into bite-sized pieces and combine with the rest of the ingredients.
Mix well and let it sit for a couple of hours before serving as a dip with tortilla chips.
