My Legendary Salsa

1 kg of ripe tomatoes
3 oz crushed tomatoes
5 tablespoons olive oil
7 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon chili
1 teaspoon red pepper
1 tablespoon capers
basil
pepper
salt

Salsa

Cut the tomatoes in the form of a cross on the underside, immerse it in hot water and peel. Heat the olive oil and add crushed garlic. As the garlic gets red add the chopped tomatoes and 3 oz crushed tomatoes. Saute for about an hour on low heat stirring every 5 minutes. Towards the end, add chili and red peppers. As the salsa thickens add salt and pepper. When finished add capers and basil.

Pasta

Cook pasta al dente. Please note pasta is always No. 1, use salsa just to make pasta dirty.

Warning!

This salsa is hot!
Make sure to get enough wine or cold beer to extinguish the fire.

No Jalapenos? No Habanero?

Sounds tame, but we give it a try

My MILD Salsa has Jalapenos

My HOT salsa has a Habaneros

My PERSONAL salsa has both :)

Thanks for the recipe

Might consider Peaches or Mandarin oranges, or sweet onion ( Vidalia or equivalent)

I'm tempted to try your personal salsa, with peaches
and mandarines. Sounds exotic.

(if I find all ingredients - halapenos etc - here in Croatia)

Thanks

Jalapenos can be 'tamed' down a bit by removing the seeds and veins, that is the hottest part of any pepper

Whole Milk (not that 1% crap) puts out most fires. Habaneros might take more than 5 glasses if you do not have a sleeve of saltine crackers to help... but it will work.
The hotter peppers are more challenging :twisted:

Scotch Bonnet is another name for Habaneros, also Roasted Jalapenos are popular
