Habanero Salsa

Here's the recipe for the habanero salsa that I made. It's from Rick Bayless. Here's a copy:

Ingredients
  • 5 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1 medium carrot, roughly chopped
  • half of a small onion (about 1/2 cup), roughly chopped
  • 12 medium (about 5 ounces) orange habanero chiles, stemmed
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • About 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
Directions

Roast the garlic in a skillet over medium heat, turning regularly until soft and blackened in spots, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool and peel.

In a small saucepan, combine the carrot, onion and habanero chiles with the vinegar and 1 cup water. Partially cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the carrots are thoroughly tender, about 10 minutes. Pour into a blender and add the roasted garlic, salt and sugar. Blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little additional water. Taste and season with additional salt if necessary.

Pour into jars or bottles and store in the refrigerator.
