Mango Citrus Relish
Recipe by Jorge Rimblas
This is a fresh topping that goes well with fish.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup purple onion, finely diced
- 1/2 orange bell pepper, diced in small cubes (green or red bell pepper will do too)
- Juice from 1 orange
- Juice from 1/2 lime
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup mango, diced in small cubes
- 1 tomato, diced in small cubes
- Small bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- salt to taste
Combine the onion, orange pepper with olive oil in a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat. Cook until onions start becoming transparent, about 2 min. Remove from heat and set aside. In same saucepan add orange and lime juice and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil, add sugar and reduce for 2 minutes.
Turn heat off, return onions and peppers add all remaining ingredients, except for avocado. Let cool off at room temperature. Preferably allow it to sit for 1 hour. Add avocado cubes when ready to serve and salt to taste (if needed)
It's okay for mango to have a tart flavor (meaning not ripe enough).
Use as a side, garnish or a sauce. Wonderful complement to fish.
Serves 4.
