Ingredients:
- 8-10 habanero peppers
- 4 garlic cloves
- 4 tomatillos
- 4 jalapenos
- 2 pinches of salt
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by boiling the tomatillos and peppers in water for about 10 minutes, or until the green color of the tomatillos and jalapenos changes from a slick green to a dull green. You want them to be soft but not mushy.
-
-
Remove Stems: Once boiled, remove the tomatillos and peppers from the water. Cut off the stem caps from the peppers, but do not remove the seeds unless you’re seeking a milder flavor.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the boiled tomatillos, peppers, garlic cloves, cilantro (if using), and a couple of pinches of salt.
-
Blend: Blend the ingredients in the food processor for 20-30 seconds, depending on your desired consistency. Keep in mind that blending for a shorter duration will result in a chunkier texture, while a longer blend will yield a smoother sauce.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt if necessary, pulsing the mixture a few times to incorporate the additional seasoning.
-
Transfer and Chill: Pour the blended sauce into a resealable container or jar. Allow it to rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. Chilling the sauce enhances its flavors and allows the ingredients to meld together beautifully.
-
Storage: This sauce keeps well in the fridge for at least 10 days. However, it’s so delicious that it often gets consumed before then!
-
Safety Note: After using the food processor, be cautious when opening it, especially if you’re sensitive to spicy fumes. Open it in a well-ventilated area to avoid any discomfort.
-
Heat Advisory: If you find the sauce too spicy, try drinking milk or eating a flour tortilla to alleviate the heat. But remember, a little heat adds excitement to life!
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve with tortilla chips for a spicy snack.
- Use as a condiment to add a fiery kick to tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.
- Drizzle over grilled meats or roasted vegetables for an extra punch of flavor.
- Incorporate into marinades or dressings for a zesty twist.
- Experiment with adding a dollop to soups or stews for a spicy boost.
