The LUX Habanero / Pack a punch and ey yei yei!
Ingredients:
3 fresh jalapeños
2 onions finely chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chile pepper
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro, 2 limes juiced
7 (15 ounce) cans canned tomatoes
1 habanero pepper (seeded)
Directions: Roast jalapenos over a grill 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, 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 in with the can of green chiles, cilantro, and lime juice. Pulse the tomatoes in batches 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 added juice, and add to the tomatoes. Mix well, cover, and chill in the refrigerator at least one hour to allow flavors to blend into a mix of spicy goodness.
