condiment Habanero/Garlic/Tomato Salsa

[AjarnV]

Here's something I whipped up this morning. I only had 5 ripe Habaneros or I would have added 3 more for 8 in this recipe. I'm a little out of shape heat wise so I'm working my way back up to my previous tolerance levels;

Habanero/Garlic/Tomato Salsa

5 or more orange Habaneros
5 ripe, medium tomatoes
1 bulb garlic (12-14 cloves)
½ c. fresh lime juice
½ medium onion
3 tbsp. tomato paste
2 tbsp. Gebhardt’s Chili Powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. raw sugar
1-1/2 tsp. black pepper

I used a food processor to chop everything. Don’t overload the processor or you’ll chop everything too fine. I like about ¼” for the tomatoes and onions, and about 1/8” for the Habaneros and garlic (a little smaller won’t hurt).
Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, 2 is better. Cheers.

That looks pretty good. I'd leave out the Gebharts and add a 1/2 cup apple or rice wine vin. Other than that it looks killer!

Thats a bit too much heat for me. I like to eat tons of salsa at a time, but those I hang out with cannot handle our levels of heat.

Booo on your friends! Eat what you like!

I do, most of the time. What would life be if I didnt?

I'm in a mini-rebellion against vinegar at the moment; IMO it's often over used. Normally I use small amounts.

Will have to try this

I modified it a little and dropped the pepper content (didn't want to) to make something the family will touch.

1 Caribbean Habanero
3 Jimmy Nardello sweet peppers + 1 diced
6 ripe, small plum tomatoes + 1 diced
1 bulb garlic (12-14 cloves)
1/2 c. fresh lime juice/ lemon juice
1/2 medium onion
3 tbsp. tomato paste
1/2 c. vinegar
1 tsp. salt
2 heaping tbsp. brown sugar

I used a blender so the diced were for the end to and a little more texture.
Thank you Ajarn for a great simple salsa recipe to play with.

That looks good; how was it? Cheers.

It was good and built up the family's tolerance. I just made another batch this past weekend everyone agreed that 2 habs would be good. I am slowly working them up.
