Mango Habanero Sauce

I have become addicted to wings with mango habanero sauce. I had it first at Buffalo Wings, then again at Pizza Palazzo. The second was heaven itself.

I set out to find a recipe that was as good.

After only two tries, I think I succeeded. This recipe from Serious Eats was really good. I changed only a couple of the ingredients, modifying it but slightly to reduce more sugar from it.

I think it turned out great.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped peeled fresh mango, about 2 medium mangos
  • 1 cup mango juice or mango carrot juice
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey (sugar free)
  • 1/3 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons fresh juice from about 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped habanero chiles, seeded (about 2 chiles, see note above)
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Heat the oil and saute the onion until softened and translucent. 
2, Add the ginger and garlic and stir until fragrant.
3. Dump everything else in the saucepan and bring to a soft boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes.
4. Using an immersion blender, whirr until the sauce is smooth and thick. 
5. Store in a jar in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze in smaller containers for later use. 

SERVES: Makes about 2 cups

NOTES: You can reduce the carbs further by using a sugar free brown sugar. Add more or less habaneros depending on your heat tolerance.
