Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Char the habanero over an open flame or under the broiler, turning with tongs, until blackened all over, ~2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Let the habanero cool, then remove the stem and most of the seeds (leave some for heat). Dice finely into a bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Peel and pit the mangoes. Cut the flesh into small 1/4-inch dice and add to the bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Mince the red onion finely and add to the bowl along with the cilantro.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze the lime juice over everything. Add salt and pepper, then fold gently to combine.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust lime, salt, or habanero heat. Serve alongside grilled chicken, sweet potatoes, and zucchini.
