Trent's special salsa
- there
really isn't a recipe (a family secret for, ohh, four months), but for
those of you who want it here it is...
1 tomato
1/2 red
or white onion
1/2 red
bell pepper
1/2 yellow
bell pepper
2 serranos
2 sweet
peppers (any variety)
3 habaneros
juice
of 1 lime
2 Tbsp
sugar
2 Tsp
vinegar
Ok.
Real Simple. Dice everything 'diceable'. Stir and serve. I
usually add more habs but my wife yells at me ;-) This is really
colorful and looks quite nice as well as beating the pants off any store
salsa.
Habanero flakes
- this
might take a while, but it is definitely worth it...
Take about
1/2 lbs of Habaneros and remove the seeds. Slice them in halves or
thirds. Place them in the oven @ 150 in a glass baking dish.
After about 8 hours or when dry take them out and place them in a food
processor and grind them to flakes. Please don't breathe in the flakes
and be careful with your eyes when doing this, it HURTS, believe me.
The flakes can be used for any kind of seasoning. A little goes a
long way...

I just had an awesome sauce... It's Bronco Bob's Raspberry Smoked Chipolte Sauce. YUMMY!! It's got a smokey low key heat with a sweet taste of raspberries. I used it to marinate some shrimp. Wow, they were good.
