Some like it hot.....

If you like it spicy, hot, and delicious...... then you are going to love this! I know my honey does!

My salsa recipe is the topic of the day.

What did you think I was talking about? Sheeesh! Get your mind back in the kitchen, will ya!

Anyway........ (awkward silence)....... here it is:


"Super Duper" Hot Salsa




I originally got this recipe off of allrecipes.com. I since then simplified it and really increased the heat factor.
 
Ingredients:

2 cans diced tomatoes                                 1 tbsp sugar
1 small onion                                              1 tsp salt
12 jalapenos peppers                                   1/4 tsp cumin
3 habanero peppers                                     fresh cilantro
5 cloves of garlic                                        lemon juice






Let the blender do most of the work for you.




Roughly chop onion.








I used 5 habaneros this time, but they were kind of small.





 Cut off the
pepper stems.


Place tomatoes, peppers, onion and garlic in the blender.
Use the "chop" setting to blend it together.




Then add the seasonings, cilantro and lemon juice.
I personally use a "handful" of cilantro and a big squirt of lemon juice.

Just eyeball it, or follow your "inner chef" instincts!
Best if chilled before serving. Beware: the heat intensifies after a day or two.

I hope you enjoy and retain all your inner tissues!

  1. This truly is the best salsa around...I don't think it is quite as hot as Naomi thinks it is but it is definitely not mild. I would open a restaurant with everything based around this recipe with free chips and salsa at every table and it would be a no-brainer investment.
