Ingredients:

- 3 onions
- 1 garlic clove

Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: If you’re using a food processor, put habanero peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, and cumin in the processor, and pulse until finely minced, but not pureed. Alternatively, if you’re mincing the peppers by hand, make sure to wear rubber gloves to protect your skin and eyes from the potent pepper oils.
-
Mix Seasonings: Add dried oregano, thyme, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and water to the minced mixture and mix well to combine. Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference. The aroma will already have your taste buds tingling!
-
Storage: Transfer the salsa into a glass container with a tight-fitting lid. I find that larger baby food jars work perfectly for this purpose. This fiery creation stores well in the refrigerator for a couple of days, allowing its flavors to intensify over time.
-
Serve and Enjoy: This Caution: Extremely Hot! Salsa is incredibly versatile. Serve it on chips for a fiery snack, spoon it over eggs for a zesty breakfast, slather it on grilled chicken for a spicy twist, tuck it into burritos or tacos for an extra kick, or stir it into rice or beans to elevate their flavor profile. The possibilities are endless, and each bite promises a burst of intense heat and flavor that will leave you craving more!
Now, grab your tortilla chips, prepare your taste buds for a flavor explosion, and enjoy this fiery salsa that’s not for the faint of heart!
