Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Habanero peppers
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 small White onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
1. Begin by prepping the vegetables. Remove the stems from the habanero peppers and dice the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the whole habanero peppers and garlic cloves. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they are slightly charred on the outside. Use caution as the peppers can release spicy fumes.
3. Add the diced tomatoes and a quarter cup of water to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
4. Transfer the sautéed mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the diced onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
5. Blend the ingredients until smooth. For a chunkier texture, use the pulse setting to control the consistency.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Allow the salsa to cool before serving, as the flavors will meld and become more pronounced.
7. Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or any dish that needs a kick of heat.
