HABANERO SALSA



Habanero Salsa image

When I go to Mexican restaurants and they bring salsa and chips to the table, I always ask them to bring the "hot stuff" for me. It is usually a thinner salsa but packs the spicier punch that I love. This is my own version of that salsa. The bell peppers give a sweetness that nicely contrasts the heat of the habanero. You may want to use gloves when handling the habanero as the oils will stick to your fingers and transfer to anything you touch.

Provided by Groony1

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 2-3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tomatoes
1 yellow bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1/2 habanero pepper
1/2 white onion
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 lime, juice of
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

Steps:

  • Halve and core tomatoes and bell peppers. (Don't halve and core the habenero--the seeds contain the heat you want).
  • Roast tomatoes, bell peppers, habanero, and unpeeled garlic cloves under broiler until skins blacken.
  • Discard skins of tomatoes, bell peppers, and garlic, and cut the habanero in half. I only use half, but if you want severe burnage, use the whole thing.
  • Add all ingredients to food processor and blend until you get your desired consistency.
  • Chill before serving.
  • Variations: you know what you like: add more cilantro, cumin, garlic or salt to your satisfy your own taste.

HABANERO SALSA



Habanero Salsa image

Categories     Fruit     Herb     Onion     Pepper     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Vegan     Raw     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups fresh Seville (bitter) orange juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano (preferably Mexican), crumbled
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped seeded fresh habanero chile (1 to 2 chiles)

Steps:

  • Stir together all ingredients in a bowl, then let stand at least 30 minutes for flavors to develop.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful habaneros: The quality of your salsa will depend on the quality of your habaneros. Look for peppers that are plump, brightly colored, and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the habaneros before using them: Roasting the habaneros will help to mellow their heat and bring out their flavor. You can roast the peppers in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are charred and blistered.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the habaneros before chopping them: This will help to reduce the heat of the salsa. If you want a milder salsa, you can remove more of the seeds and ribs. If you want a spicier salsa, you can leave some of the seeds and ribs in.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your salsa will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
  • Add a little bit of sweetness to balance out the heat: This could be in the form of sugar, honey, or agave nectar. You can also add a little bit of acidity, such as vinegar or lemon juice, to help brighten up the flavors.
  • Let the salsa rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can let the salsa rest for 30 minutes at room temperature, or you can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Habanero salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes, from tacos and burritos to grilled chicken and fish. It is a great way to add a little bit of heat and flavor to your meals. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find one that you love. So next time you are looking for a new salsa to try, give habanero salsa a try. You won't be disappointed.
