Peanut Free Vegan Mango Sauce
Bright, tropical, and just a little bit zingy, this mango sauce is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more exciting. Fresh or frozen mango gets simmered with lime juice, maple syrup, ginger, and a whisper of turmeric until it's completely soft and fragrant, then blended and strained into a silky-smooth pour. The result is vibrant and restaurant-worthy, but it comes together in under fifteen minutes on a single stovetop. A pinch of cayenne is optional, but if you're into a little heat cutting through that tropical sweetness, don't skip it. Because every ingredient here is a whole, recognizable food, you never have to second-guess what's in it — no hidden additives, no shared-facility anxiety. Drizzle it over grilled vegetables, spoon it onto rice bowls, or use it as a dipping sauce and watch it disappear fast.
