Recipe Creation

Chef Guillermo is always coming up with new recipes, both for commercial production and for eating at home! Here is the recipe for a new salsa he created.

● 3 habanero peppers

● 1 medium onion

● 3 medium carrots

● 3 garlic cloves

● 3 tbsp olive oil

● Salt to taste

● 1/4 cup orange juice

● 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

● 1/4 water (if needed)

- Start by slicing the habaneros.

- If you want to minimize the spiciness of your salsa, remove some or all of the seeds.

- To avoid irritating your skin, use a fork and knife, while doing this, especially since it really hurts if you touch your eyes afterwards.

- If you like your salsa quite spicy, just leave the seeds in.

- Dice the onion and chop the carrots.

- It’s not common to use carrots in Mexican salsas, but Guillermo knew they would make a great addition.

- Chop the garlic.

- Add oil to a pre-heated pot on medium.

- Add the chilli peppers, onion, garlic, and carrots.

- Stir and add salt to taste.

- Cook on medium low for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.

- Cooking the carrots and onions helps bring out their sweetness, which adds a lot of flavour to the salsa.

- Add the orange juice and apple cider vinegar.

- Cook on low heat for another 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

- Add the salsa to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

- If it’s hard to blend, add a little water.

- The salsa is ready to eat!
