When mangos are plentiful and ripe I make a lot of things with them. This salsa is wonderful on fish, chicken and especially pork. Tonight I served them with some smoked chicken breasts. The ingredients always vary depending on what is in the fridge or fresh from the market.

Today’s Mango salsa recipe:

6 medium size mango’s peeled and diced
1 red pepper finely minced
1 large handful of cilantro leaves chopped
1 jalapeño seeded membrane removed and finely diced
1/2 white onion finely minced
2 limes juiced and zested
1/4 tsp Chipotle powder
1/4 tsp Roasted cumin powder
salt to taste

I prefer to make this up at least an hour before serving. The flavors come together well and it really does brighten up any dish.

The places we went were Germantown  Commissary, Central BBQ, Whole Hog Cafe, Old School Bar-B-Q

Each of the restaurants had some decent food however overall I would have to recommend the Germantown Commissary as my favorite hands down. They also had some of the very best pies I have ever eaten. If you are in the area make sure you stop in.

Today I am off to another bunch of BBQ restaurants. I am really looking forward to them!!
