Equipment

Food processor or blender

Ingredients

2 medium-large tomatoes or 3 Roma tomatoes, quartered
2 habanero peppers halved, with or without the seeds
1 yellow or red onion quartered
2 cloves of garlic unpeeled
2 mangoes (or about 2 heaping cups) peeled and roughly chopped
1 handful of cilantro or about ½-⅓ cup
½ lime juiced
½-1 tsp salt or to taste

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 450º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the tomatoes, habanero peppers and onion on the prepared baking sheet, spray some olive oil over (or drizzle about 1 tablespoon) and sprinkle with salt. Also, add the unpeeled and whole cloves of garlic over the baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly charred. Once done, let them cool down for about 5 minutes.
In a food processor, combine the roasted vegetables (remove the peels of the garlic first, it should come right off easily), mango, cilantro, lime juice and add about ½ teaspoon of salt. Process or pulse until mostly smooth, but with still some texture. Taste and adjust salt, lime juice and cilantro to your taste.
I recommend to first chill the salsa for 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes

Keep the salsa in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
