In my search to find something spicy, I stumbled across Dave's Insanity Salsa
the other day. Not to be confused with Dave's sauce, which I consider to be more
of a marinade than a dip, the salsa is just as picanté.

I love it when I have to drink milk for 2 minutes after eating chips and salsa.
This stuff though causes you to sweat after you've finished eating! Imagine
sitting on the couch and about 2 minutes after everything has cooled down
starting to sweat and wanting more.

YUM.

Here's a salsa recipe I like. To sweat more, add more chipotles. I suppose
you could use smoked habaneros instead.

CHIPOTLE SALSA

INGREDIENTS:

-- 10 tomatillos, husks removed
-- 3 dried chipotle or morita chiles
-- Boiling water
-- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
-- 1/2 teaspoon salt
-- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

INSTRUCTIONS: Char the tomatillos over a gas burner just until
slightly blackened. Do not soften. I use a little grill, called the
Asador, that fits over a burner. Set tomatillos aside.

Soften chiles in boiling water for 20 minutes. (Or, cover the dried
chiles with water, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at high
for 3 minutes.) Drain the chiles and remove the seeds from the
softened chiles.

Place the tomatillos, chipotles, garlic, salt and lime juice in a
food processor or blender, and puree into a smooth sauce.

Yields about 1 1/4 cups salsa.

Way cool, thanks. I'd been looking for that damn pineapple salsa
recipe for a while. My attempts to make it were, um, interesting
but not usefull.

I'm rather surprised you dn't have Diana Kenendy's recipes
in there.

I should have said that I was just copying-and-pasting that recipe from
the ChileHeads list. Personally, I never bother to remove the seeds - too
lazy. I don't have an Asador either - I use a broiler until the tomatillas
blacken. Sometimes I roast the garlic at the same time.

Or sometimes I'll use Chipotles en Adobo instead, and run them through a
food mill along with the tomatillas. That probably does leave some seeds
in the food mill - but the whole salsa ends up looking like a bowl of
seeds anyway, because of the tomatillas.
