Ingredients

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion,peeled and chopped
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 jalapeno pepper,seeded and diced
• salt and pepper,to taste
• 1 large,very ripe mango,peeled and chopped
• 1 tsp sugar or honey
• 2/3 cup white wine
• 1 cup water,vegetable stock or fish stock
• 2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
• 1 tbsp butter

Preparation

Step 1

Warm the oil in medium skillet.Add the onion,garlic,and jalapeno.Season with salt and pepper,and cook for 5 min.Add the mango and cook an additional 3 min.or until the mango begins to soften.Remove from heat and cool briefly.
Add the mango mixture,sugar or honey,wine,water or stock,and citrus juice to large blender with a tigh-fiting lid.With a towel over the top of blender and your hand bearing down so the lid cannot pop off,pulse the blender for a few very short bursts.(If hot liquites are blended without pulsing to get the liquits moving,the steam created can blow the top off the blender and splatter the sauce all over.)Increase the length of the bursts until there seems to be an inclination for the top of the blender to pop off.Hit the lowest blend setting on the blender and puree the mix for 2 min.or until it is completely smooth.The sauce should be easly pourable.If it is too thick,add a little water or stock.
Pour the sauce back into a clean saucepan and slowly bring it to a simmer.Whisk in the butter and taste the sauce for seasoning.Add more salt and Tabasco if necessary.
