Xxx Chipotle Habanero Salsa Xxx Recipes

CHIPOTLE SALSA

Steps:

• Add the diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chiles, lime juice, cumin, salt, sugar, black pepper, chipotle peppers, cilantro and onions to a food processor and blend until totally combined. Give it a taste to check for seasoning.
• Make the salsa several hours before serving, as it will give the flavors a chance to dance! Keeps in the fridge, covered, for about a week.

HABANERO SALSA

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.

HABANERO CHILE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange tomatillos, onion, garlic, and chile on prepared baking sheet. Broil until vegetables blacken in spots, about 5 minutes per side for chile and about 10 minutes per side for tomatillos, onion, and garlic.
• Transfer vegetables and any accumulated juices to blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Puree until smooth. Transfer salsa to bowl. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Season salsa to taste with more salt.

CHIPOTLE SALSA (FOR CANNING)

Steps:

• Blanch the tomatoes, remove the skin, and then chop. Measure 8 cups.
• Mix all ingredients except the cilantro in a large pot and simmer until desired thickness is reached, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Ad the cilantro just before you are ready to pour into jars.
• Fill into hot, sterilized pint jars and top with hot, sterilized canning lids. I do not process in a canner and have never had a problem, but you may process in a hot-water-bath canner at this point for 20 minutes if you are concerned about food safety.
• If you buy a half-bushel of tomatoes and adjust the rest of the ingredients accordingly you get about 6 batches and 36 pints.

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.
