Mango sriracha spread is a simple appetizer for any recipe. Hot sriracha sauce gives the perfect level of heat and the mango adds sweetness to the recipe.
It brings me endless joy when I am able to combine two of my favorite foods and those foods are so different from each other.
A fruit and a popular hot sauce can come together to make a delicious spread and sauce!
Yes, I went there! I may not be the first to go there, but, I am sure glad I thought of it. This mango sriracha spread turned out to be the very best I have made.
In the past I combined avocado and wasabi to make the avocado wasabi spread.
Then, there was the sun-dried tomato spread which was one of my earlier experiments. My roasted butternut squash spread is one of the easiest spread I ever made.
There is nothing better than sriracha sauce for this recipe. However, if you have a different hot sauce recipe you want to use in its place, that will work too. If you want to learn to make your own sriracha, here is a sriracha recipe on Serious Eats that will turn you into your own sriracha making machine.
This mango sriracha sauce is now my obsession. I wonder how it will taste if I spread it on my bagel chips beet canape? I am off to go experiment!
I used this mango sriracha spread in an asparagus wonton fries recipe and it was delicious
