Salsa De Eppinette A Three Pepper Inferno Food

INFERNO HOT CHILI PASTE OR SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove stems and quarter chilis.
• Place all ingrediants in saucepan and bring to boil, lower heat and simmer on medium high to 1/2 the consistancy, about 20 mins, Stir often so it does not stick and burn at the bottom.
• Cool slightly, and blend to smooth paste.
• Serve at room temperature.

STING'S NEARLY WORLD FAMOUS SALSA

Steps:

• Combine the first 9 ingredients.
• It will have great flavor, but very little heat at this point. To spice it up, add whatever hot peppers you like. Personally, I like to add one half habanero or scotch bonnet along with one half jalapeno for some decent heat and flavor. If you don't want it too hot, add one half to one whole jalapeno. All I do is cut off the stem and finely mince the peppers, seeds and all. Even better is to freeze the peppers and use a microplane to grate them into a fine mash. Please wear rubber gloves when handling the diced peppers and do not rub your nose or eyes!
• Another flavor variant is to use lemon juice instead of lime juice.
• Letting the mix sit for an hour will allow the flavors to meld better especially if you add hot peppers.

THREE PEPPER QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Saute peppers and onions in margarine in a large skillet.
• Stir in cumin.
• Spoon out any liquid in the skillet.
• Set pepper mixture aside.
• In a small bowl, combine green chilies, cream cheese and cheddar cheese (the recipe may be made ahead up to this point).
• Assemble quesadillas as follows: spread about 3-4 tablespoons of cheese mixture on 1/2 of a flour tortilla.
• Top with sauteed peppers and onions.
• Fold over.
• Very lightly spread butter on the top of the folded tortilla and sprinkle with cumin or chili powder.
• Place on cookie sheet and bake in preheated 400º oven for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.
• Cut into thirds or fourths.
• Mix sour cream and salsa together and serve as a dip with the cut quesadillas.

THREE PEPPER SALSA

• Mix all the remaining ingredients together, seasoning to taste.
• Chill for approximately 1 hour before serving.
• Drain off excess liquid before topping fish.

BERNADETTE'S SCORCHING SPANISH SALSA

Steps:

• Place ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend only a few seconds so tomatoes remain chunky and other ingredients blend nicely.

3 PEPPER PASTA

Steps:

• (Optional) Brown the sausage well, crumbling with a fork. Remove from skillet and set aside. Remove excess grease.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add onion and cook to desired tenderness. (I like to cook the heck out of the onions, but you really don't have to.)
• Add mushrooms and garlic and cook 3-4 minutes.
• Add peppers and cook to desired tenderness. (I only cook the peppers for a couple of minutes because I like them to stay a little bit firm.)
• When the veggies are at your desired tenderness, add the red wine vinegar and sugar. If using sausage, add the meat back to the skillet.
• If I am using fresh basil, I add it last. However, if I am using dried basil, I add it with the mushrooms.
• Pour all contents over al dente penne pasta. I like to top with grated parmesan cheese.

"DANTE'S INFERNO" SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Roast the first 5 ingredients in a large shallow pan at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Then combine all ingredients in blender and pulse on high for about 5 minutes. This is great warm or cold, and stores in the fridge for up to a week.
• 2. (If you're pressed for time, substitute 2 cans of tomatoes with green chiles for the fresh tomatoes...but this does compromise the flavor a bit.)

SALSA DE MONJA, AKA AJETE, AKA ACEITUNAS ALIñADAS

Steps:

• Prepare jars. Use three 1-pint jars or combination. Sterilize jars: In a large pot with a rack on the bottom, place clean jars right side up. Fill with water to cover jars by 1 inch. (If hard water, add a splash of vinegar so jars don't dry spotty.) Bring to the boil, then boil for 10 minutes and turn off. Put clean lids in the pot to get warm. Leave jars and lids in hot water until needed. (Tita Dolly starts with the jars from the olives and cocktail onions, then adds jars as needed.).
• Wash the lemons well. Thinly slice lemons and pick out the seeds. Place them in a large pot, squeezing with your hands. (You may want to put half the lemon first and reserve the rest to adjust flavor as you go.).
• (Tita Dolly rinses the olives and cocktail onions. I don't -- I like the extra tanginess.) Add the remaining ingredients and bring gently to a simmer, stirring to mix well. Texture should be thick but not pasty; color should be bright orangey but not brown; flavor should be complex so you can taste all the elements, and not overly lemony. Adjust seasoning and add bread crumbs or olive oil as needed. Once mixture is hot, turn off the heat.
• Place a kitchen towel on the counter. Remove jars from hot water, drain, and place on towel, right side up. Carefully fill with mixture, leaving about 1/2 inch at the top; gently tap each bottle on the counter, and stir with a chopstick to remove any air bubbles. Top each jar with remaining liquid from mixture, leaving 1/4 inch at the top; if there's not enough liquid, top with more olive oil.
• Wipe jar tops clean. Place lids on jars, and tighten. (If using canning lids, place lids and hand-tighten rings.) Turn jars upside down and allow to cool. Keep refrigerated.
• NOTES * Use any combination of olives you like. Be warned -- some stuffed olives may lose their stuffing. * 1 jar of Mezzetta manzanilla olives stuffed with pimentos is ~1 cup. 1 tiny jar of cocktail onions is ~1/2 cup. * Tita Dolly uses about equal proportions of olives and cocktail onions. * For the garlic, smash well, then remove peels. * Tita Dolly uses whatever paprika she has handy; I like pimenton dulce. * Taste the mixture -- if you like, add more lemon juice. * You will be tasting the olive oil, so use one with good flavor. Don't use a light or very mild oil. * I've estimated a serving to be about 1/4 cup, so each pint (500 ml) is 8 servings. *.
