Roasted Pepper & Mango Salsa

Makes 20 servings

Ingredients:

2 lbs EACH roasted green, yellow, and red bell peppers

2 roasted red onions

3.5 lbs roasted peeled mango

2 bunches fresh chopped cilantro

¼ cup olive oil

8 garlic cloves

4 EACH Serrano and Habanero peppers

.5 tsp lemon pepper seasoning

¼ cup lime juice

Extra cilantro for garnish

Directions:

1. Turn on your B.B.Q. grill and roast all peppers evenly.
2. Put them in a plastic bag and let them sweat to remove all skin and seeds.
3.  In a sauce pan, heat oil. Sauté the onions and garlic for 2 minutes and remove them to a shallow tray with a slotted spoon.
4.  If you are using fresh mango, peel them and remove the pit, dice them, and sauté on high for 2 minutes. (You can also use frozen mango chunks.)
5. In remaining oil, sauté the peppers
6. In a blender or food processor, pour the onions, hot peppers, garlic, lime juice, salt, and lemon pepper seasoning, and blend them to smooth consistency.
7. Now add the bell peppers, chopped in fourths, followed by the mango. Pulse the blender to combine all ingredients, leaving a chunky consistency.
8. Transfer salsa in a bowl.
9. Chop cilantro and add it to salsa by hand to preserve color.
10.  Adjust taste to your own desire. Serve cold.   

Mmmm, delicious!
