Here's a recipe for the smoked habs. I did cheat and just played cut and
paste from some promo literature I have.
Sitting at my desk examining the first smoked habanero we had ever received
I was suddenly inspired to try this roasted, toasted and smoked concept.
It's taken quite a few batches to perfect. And now it's one of my
favorites. My friends like this one quite a bit so I know the heat level is
not all that high. You can always add a few more smoked habanero to
increase the heat. I like to deseed my tomatoes. Some people will find that
tedious but I don't mind and I think it makes for a better looking Salsa
with a lot less moisture.
Mix everything thoroughly and taste. The flavors have not yet blended but
you can get idea of the salt you will need. Cover and refrigerate for a few
hours. The heat level starts to wane after 24 hours. I'm not sure why. This
effect makes this a prepare and serve today salsa. Serve with your favorite
chips. Makes enough for one regular sized bag of chips.
