Steve's Salsa Recipe
Chop the following ingredients, in order, in the salsa machine of your
choice. For good chunky salsa, don't over-chop the tomatoes!
- 1 Habenero pepper (dice first)
- 1/2 medium/large onion (cut into quarters)
- 3-5 good-sized cloves of garlic (chop finely or press)
- 1 to 2 dozen sprigs of cilantro, to taste (cut up)
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt, to taste
- Chop these ingrediants together fairly finely.
- Now add the tomatoes, and remember admonition above.
- 4 tomatillos, steamed
- 8 fresh Roma tomatos (halved)
That's it! This will make a fairly HOT salsa.
(P.S. after
handling the Habenero, be very careful about touching your eyes. You
know what Pepper-Mace is made of?!)
For a medium salsa, replace the Habenero pepper with 3-5 Serrano chiles.
For a mild salsa, use a single Serrano, or even a Jalepeño pepper.
Depress to descry a didactic diagram describing the disproportionate
degree of hotness of the habenero chile compared to countless kissing cousin
chiles (most of the same species; all in the same genus) in
Device Independent (DVI) or
PostScript format.
