Ingredients

  • Fruit from half a pineapple chopped
  • 3 tomatillos
  • 2 habanero peppers
  • 2 Jalapeno peppers
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
  • juice from 1 lime
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, slice in half your peeled and rinsed tomatillos, jalapenos and habanero peppers. Set them onto a lightly oiled baking sheet.
  2. Slice open the pineapple. Remove the skin and core from half of the pineapple (save the rest for another use) and slice it into 3/4 inch slices. Spread them out on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
  3. Bake both sheets at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, or until the the pepper and tomatillo skins char, bubble up and loosen. You can peel and the skins if you'd like. The pineapple will have a slight char to them when roasted.
  4. Next, add all of the roasted ingredients to a food processor, along with lime juice, cilantro and a bit of salt. Process until smooth.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and cover. Refrigerate about 4 hours to allow flavors to mingle. Can be served right away.

Notes

  • Heat Factor: Hot, though it's a pleasant blooming heat, nothing stark or biting. Very fresh and enjoyable.
