Very pleased with how this turned out. I haven’t worked with habaneros before and will definitely be wearing gloves next time. How does it look?

Ingredients:

1 Red Bell Pepper

3 tomatoes (I think they’re Roma?someone in the comments can correct me if I’m wrong)

5 habaneros

1 jalapeño

1 mango

1-2 lemons depending on size. I opted for two since mine were smaller.

1/4 stock of cilantro

Salt to taste

Sounds like it would be very very hot

You are right it’s really warm, I’d probably scale back ~2 habaneros.

I can never have enough Cilantro!

I worry that much blackening would give it an acrid taste. How is it?

Yeah, for a fruity salsa like this I wouldn't roast anything and leave it all fresh. A mango pico de gallo.

I think i will try this next time and see which i prefer. I think it tastes great but i have not had any alternatives.

I also will do basically this and add shredded cabbage, extra lime, some mayo, and maybe a deseeded habanero and make like a mango cole slaw that goes so good with fish or shrimp tacos.

How does it taste? How was the spice level? I was planning on making a mango habanero salsa for the first time tomorrow, so any notes would be appreciated.

Taste is really sweet. A lot of the heat creeps up on you and admittedly is hotter than my preference. I’d say maybe 2 less habaneros for these ratios.
