I recently saw this recipe for mango salsa made on an episode of The Barefoot Contessa. This particular show was featuring healthy recipes for a change, and this version of a mango salsa simmered on the stove top, then finished with fresh herbs sounded quite good. The original recipe had seared tuna steaks served over the salsa, but I chose to mix in some sauted shrimp as well. Also, on the show, Ina Garten uses fresh mint leaves, but I prefer to use a mix of fresh cilantro and basil, just to be different. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 diced yellow onions (about 1-1 1/2 cups) |
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic |
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger |
2 ripe mangoes, peeled, seeded and diced |
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice |
2 teaspoons light brown sugar |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 -2 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper, to taste |
2 teaspoons fresh cilantro (your choice) or 2 teaspoons basil (your choice) or 2 teaspoons mint (your choice) |
1 1/2 lbs shrimp or 2 tuna steaks |
Directions:
1. Saute olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
2. Add minced garlic and cook for another couple minutes.
3. Next, add the diced mangos and simmer over low heat for another 10 minutes.
4. Ad orange juice, brown sugar, salt, pepper and jalapeno.
5. Simmer on low for another 10 minutes or until orange juice is reduced, stirring occasionally.
6. Remove from heat and add the fresh herb of your choice (cilantro, basil or mint).
7. For shrimp: Peel and devein shrimp, and toss with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Saute in a pan over medium high heat until pink about 7-10 minutes.
9. For tuna: preheat saute pan over high heat.
10. Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
11. Sear steaks for 2-3 minutes on both sides, until outside is browned, but the inside is still rare.
12. Serve with mango salsa!
