- 8 Habanero Peppers seeds left in - stems removed
- 8 medium Jalapenos Or 4 Extra Large Jalapeno Peppers seeds left in - stems removed
- 2 Extra Large White Onions quartered
- 2 bunchs Fresh Cilantro excluding the bottom 2" of stems
- 2/3 cup Fine Minced Jarred Garlic packed
- 1/2 tsp Mexican Oregano crushed
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil Or Garlic Oil
- 1 tbsp Each: Granulated Garlic - Granulated Onion - Ground Cumin
- 1 can (8 oz) ROTELL Tomatoes with juices
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth Or Water
- 1 can (4 oz) Hatch Green Chiles with juices
- 1 tbs Each: Black Pepper - Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 1/2 tbsp Granulated Sugar go easy - you may not want all - you may want more
- 1 1/2 tbs Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 tbsp Pureed Garlic it's important it's pureed
- 2 tsp Salt go easy - you may not want all - you may want more
- Open a window or turn on a fan.
- Rough chop all vegetables and throw everything except for pureed garlic, lime juice and salt in the into a thick bottom pot with tight fitting lid.
- Let her boil down.
- Drain solids from pot and catch/reserve your fluids.
- Just in case you need it to thin your sauce.
- Definitely reserve those leftover fluids from your pot in a large zip lock bag to use in the following days.
- It makes a delicious, spicy marinade for most meats.
- Or, I'll commonly use it for steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas.
- Place solids in your blender.
- Don't over blend.
- Again, you'll want some body to this sauce.
- After blending - taste test your sauce.
- If you feel it's a bit bitter due to the high acidity from the peppers and tomatoes - try this easy step.
- Pour your blender contents into a large bowl.
- Can this salsa in clean Mason Jars while it's still piping hot.
- Then, refrigerate immediately.
- These jars do make great little gifts for neighbors and co-workers!
- Know that Guacamole Dip and Sour Cream will tame the heat in this sauce substantially.
- Feel free to check out my Mike's Fiesta Guacamole recipe.
- Serve chilled.
- Enjoy!
