HABANERO-GARLIC SALSA



Habanero-Garlic Salsa image

The variously colored habanero (also called Scotch bonnet, for its shape) is blisteringly hot. It also has wonderful flavor, which, I suppose, is why people tolerate it. This salsa will turn up on any grilled meat, but it's often served with Cochinita Pibil (page 351). Care is needed when handling all chiles, but especially habaneros; do not touch your eyes or other sensitive parts of your body after touching the chiles until you wash your hands very well (some people wear gloves to handle them, and that's not a bad idea).

Yield makes about 1/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 fresh habanero chiles
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Large pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Combine the habaneros and garlic in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the garlic browns all over and softens a bit and the chiles brown, about 10 minutes. (If the smoke bothers you, turn down the heat a bit or partially wrap the garlic and chiles in foil and roast in a 400°F oven for about 30 minutes.) Stem and seed the chiles (then wash your hands).
  • Combine the chiles, garlic, lime juice, and salt in a food processor and turn the machine on, stopping it to scrape down the sides as necessary. Process until the mixture is pasty. Serve or cover and refrigerate for up to a few days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right habaneros: Use ripe, fresh habaneros for the best flavor and heat. Look for habaneros that are plump and have a vibrant orange or red color.
  • Roast the habaneros: Roasting the habaneros intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast the habaneros in the oven or on a grill.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the habaneros: This will help to reduce the heat of the salsa. If you want a milder salsa, you can remove more seeds and ribs. If you want a hotter salsa, you can leave some of the seeds and ribs in.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
  • Season the salsa to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder.
  • Let the salsa chill: Chilling the salsa allows the flavors to meld together. Serve the salsa chilled or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Hoppin' Garlic Habanero Salsa is a delicious and versatile salsa that can be used as a dip, a condiment, or a marinade. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, this salsa is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and spicy salsa, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
