SALSA!!!!!!!!!!! (recipe)

[Tracy Benelli]

I've been lurking in this group for awhile, and have seen many recipes for Salsa,
so i couldn't resist adding my own. My husband became fascinated by chilies
several years ago, and after much experimenting, following is our standard
recipe for some serious ***-kicking salsa!

4 Anaheim Chilies*
4 - Poblama (sp?!) Chilies*
3 - Jalapeno Chilies*
3 - Habanero Chilies*
1 - large Sweet Onion (Maui, if you can find it)
4 - cloves Garlic
Vine Ripened Tomatoes (as many as you want - we use 5 - 6)
Cilantro (1/2 cup - chopped fine

* - blacken the chilies to remove the outer skin. You can do this over a low
flame on your gas stove, or you can broil them or put them on the BBQ. Once
the chilies are BLACK - rinse under cool water. (be sure to do this under
water - the skin is very irritating to the nose and eyes!)

Chop the chilies up coarsely - that way people can identify the really hot
ones! place in a large bowl

Chop the tomatoes, place in the same bowl and the chilies.

Chop the onion - add to the tomatoe/chilie mix

Chop the garlic - we chop it rather finely - and add to the bowl.

Chop the Cilantro to make 1/2C - add to the mixture in the bowl.

Mix well - serve - enjoy.

You may want to add the huice of one fresh lime for a slightly different
taste.

This salsa is called Salsa Fresco, and the habanero chilies are dangerously hot!
All of the tomatoes help to cool the effect. We always ahve a bowl of cut
limes nearby to suck on incase we get a large mouthful of a habanero.

Enjoy!!
