Go Back

This fiery Habanero Salsa is a flavour explosion! Grilled habaneros, roasted peppers, and fresh lime create a vibrant and spicy condiment that's perfect for adding heat to any dish.

Ingredients:

  • 4 grilled habanero chillies
  • 1kg roasted red peppers
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander (cilantro)
  • 2 limes

Instructions:

Grill the Habanero Chillies:

  • Grill the habanero chillies until they are charred and fragrant. This can be done on a grill, stovetop grill pan, or under a broiler.

Roast the Red Peppers:

  • If not already roasted, roast the red peppers until the skins are charred and blistered. This can also be done on a grill, stovetop grill pan, or under a broiler. Once roasted, place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them steam for about 10 minutes, then peel off the skins and remove the seeds.

Prepare the Onion:

  • Peel and roughly chop the red onion.

Blend the Ingredients:

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the grilled habanero chillies, roasted red peppers, and chopped red onion.
  • Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Add Fresh Ingredients:

  • Roughly chop the coriander and add it to the blender.
  • Squeeze the juice of 2 limes into the blender.

Final Blend and Adjust:

  • Blend the mixture again until the coriander is finely incorporated and the salsa is smooth.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or fresh coriander as desired.

Serve:

  • Transfer the habanero salsa to a serving bowl.
  • Serve as a spicy condiment for tacos, grilled meats, or as a dipping sauce.

Store:

  • Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
