El Ropo
Quintessential Chatty Farker
I was in a playful mood a couple days ago, so tried my hand at habanero mango salsa. I had an extra Gala apple on hand, so it was tossed in too.
The goods:
1 Mango
1 Gala apple
1 Habanero pepper
1 Jalapeno pepper
1 Serrano pepper
1 Thai pepper
1 Manzata pepper (fleshy and super hot)
1 Hatch pepper
1 Green pepper
3 ripe roma tomatoes
5 heads of green onion
1 medium sweet onion
5 medium sized cloves of garlic (pressed)
1 tablespoon fresh ground 5 color peppercorns
1 teaspoon low sodium salt (yes it does exist)
a couple shakes of granulated garlic
a couple shakes of onion powder
a couple shakes of chili powder'
a couple light shakes of cumin
4 oz apple cider vinegar
4 oz guava nectar
I diced everything up and tossed it in the blender. Set it to chop for about 30 seconds, then changed over to mix for another half minute. Stirred it all around, then pulsed a few times.
Oh my! I ended up with three 16 oz jars of some of the best salsa I've ever tasted. Super flavorful up front, then a long fairly robust burn with a flavorful long finish. This stuff is like eating candy, I can't get enough.
