Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • 1 mango, peeled, pitted and pureed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add curry powder and ancho powder and cook for 2 minutes. Add mango puree and lime juice and cook an additional 5 minutes. Let cool. Place mango mixture in a food processor and add butter. Process until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Place a sheet of parchment paper or waxed paper on a work surface. Spread the butter along a long side and form into a roll about 1-inch in diameter, leaving a 1-inch border of paper. Roll up the butter in the paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
