Mango BBQ Sauce

 This bbq sauce is a nice mix of tangy, sweet and spicy.  

*If you don't have Poblano chilies in your pantry, Chipotle infused, or the new Baklouti Fused Olive Oil will do nicely.

Ingredients:

6 plum tomatoes, cut in half

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

2 Poblano chili peppers

1 cup chopped mango

1/4 cup chopped coriander

1/4 cup basil

*3 T Liquid Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oil

3 cloves garlic

3 T Liquid Gold Mango White Balsamic (any fruit white balsamic with work)

fresh ground pepper to taste

Brush oil over tomatoes, chili peppers if using, and onion slices.  Grill on high with lid up, until they have good grill marks,and have started to soften.  I use a BBQ Buddie, to eliminate the chance of the tomato dropping between the grills. Remove from grill and chop coarsely.  Place all ingredients in a food processor and chop until chunky. Remove half of the sauce and continue blending until smooth.  Pour smooth sauce over the meat and marinade for at least one hour.  **Refrigerate chunky sauce.  Baste meat with smooth sauce while grilling. Serve with the chunky sauce.  

This works well with chicken, salmon, pork, especially ribs, and beef

** Additional ingredients can be added to the chunky sauce to taste.  Avocado, black beans, and corn are my favorites.
