Spicy Habanero and Lime

Ingredients

  • 10-12 habaneros roasted on a comal or griddle
  • 1 large lime
  • Salt to taste
  • Splash of water
  • Drizzle of oil

Instructions

  • Dry roast the habaneros on a preheated comal at medium heat until the skins blister and blacken in most spots. Turn as needed. Remove the stems from the chiles. I processed this salsa in my molcajete, but I would suggest using rubber gloves or process in a mini chopper. stir in the lime juice and just enough water to be able to mix it all together. Drizzle in a little grapeseed or mild olive oil. Season to taste with salt. Be careful of the fumes anytime working with hot peppers, especially habanero.
  • Option and Variation: dry roast a few cloves of garlic with the skins on along with the habanero for a nice and mellow roasted garlic flavor!
