3 fresh jalapeno peppers
2 onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chile pepper
½ cup minced fresh cilantro

Categories     Sauce     Side     Pineapple     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield makes 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pineapple (about 3 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rings
1 orange or red habanero chile, dry-roasted, seeded, and minced (page 154)
1 sweet red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/8-inch dice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy nonstick dry skillet, cook the pineapple slices (in batches, if necessary) over low heat until caramelized, 6 to 7 minutes per side. (It is important to cook the pineapples on low heat so the sugars in the fruit develop deep flavor, without any burning.) Remove from the heat and cut the pineapple into 1/8-inch dice.
  • In a large bowl, mix the diced pineapple with the chile, bell pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, but you can make this salsa 1 to 3 hours ahead.

Tips:

  • Choose the right habaneros: Look for ripe habaneros that are firm and have a deep orange or red color. Avoid any habaneros that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Wear gloves when handling habaneros: Habaneros contain capsaicin, which can irritate your skin and eyes. Wear gloves to protect yourself from the heat.
  • Roast the tomatoes and habaneros before blending: Roasting the tomatoes and habaneros will help to develop their flavor and give the salsa a smoky taste.
  • Use a blender or food processor to make the salsa: A blender or food processor will help to create a smooth and creamy salsa.
  • Season the salsa to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other ingredients, such as cilantro, onions, or garlic, to taste.

Conclusion:

Habanero chile salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a spicy kick to tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or nachos. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. If you are looking for a spicy and flavorful salsa, then habanero chile salsa is definitely worth trying!
