Xxx Chipotle Habanero Salsa Xxx Recipes

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, chipotle pepper, ancho chile, garlic, onion, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, sugar, and cumin into a blender. Pulse until the salsa has been finely ground, or to your desired consistency. Let stand at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.

Steps:

• Roast jalapenos over a grill or gas burner until completely blackened. Seal in a plastic bag or a bowl covered with plastic wrap, and allow to steam until skins are loosened. When cool, remove skin, stem, and seeds.
• Place jalapenos, onions, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a blender or food processor. Pulse to chop and blend, then pour into a large bowl, and mix with the can of green chiles, cilantro, and lime juice. Pulse the tomatoes in batches to desired size, and add to green chile mixture.
• Return one cup of chopped tomatoes to the blender along with the habanero, and puree well. Strain the puree to remove any large pieces of habanero, and add to the tomatoes. Mix well, cover, and chill in the refrigerator at least one hour to allow flavors to blend.

Steps:

• With gloves (or with plastic wrap), remove the stems from the habanero peppers, and put on a deep bowl.
• Add the chipotle chiles, making sure to scrape the can of all the adobo sauce, to the bowl with the habaneros.
• I use my stick blender to whir it all together until it is completely smooth. You could use a food processor or a blender to do this, but a stick blender is so easy to use.
• Transfer salsa to a jar, or an airtight container, and keep refrigerated.
• When washing the dishes used to make this salsa, be sure not to inhale the fumes, they will make you cough. I hold my breath while I wash them, then quickly step away from the sink.
