Ingredients

• 2 large Unripe mangoes
• 2 whole Scotch bonnet peppers
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the unripe mangoes and slice off the flesh, discarding the large pit. Cut the mango flesh into rough chunks for easier blending or grating.

Step 2

In a food processor or blender, add the mango chunks, Scotch bonnet peppers (remove seeds if you prefer less heat), garlic cloves, and red onion. Pulse until coarsely chopped.

Step 3

Add fresh cilantro, white vinegar, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend again, pulsing until the mixture reaches a chunky yet spreadable consistency.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Pour in the mango mixture and sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, to meld flavors and slightly reduce the relish.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning (add more salt or lime juice if desired). Allow the relish to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Transfer the Mango Fire Relish to a clean jar or airtight container. It can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to one week to deepen the flavors.

Step 7

Enjoy the relish as a spicy topping for grilled chicken, steak, seafood, or even slathered on sandwiches and wraps!
