We grew a ton of Habs this year. So manythat we really didn't know what to do with them all. Our friends didn't want any (wusses!), we used a bunch (we rule!) in many batches of salsa, numerous batches of Jerk & there is even 6, quart sized zip-locks full of frozen habs in our freezer! Besdies all of those, we picked almost 4# of chiles before the first frost & since we didn't have any more room in the freezer we decided to smoke them & boy were they rough on the lungs! Kidding....I am only kidding. After I smoked them & dried them, I ground them up into the deadly powder you see here. This stuff RULES! It is so good & sooooooo HOT! It has the fruity Hab flavor with hickory & mesquite flavor too & did I say it was HOT!!! I hope we can make this stuff last until next year's bumper crop.....yeah right.
See Sip Taste Hear is my running love letter to food, drink, place, and the beautiful chaos of being alive with an appetite. I cook, I taste, I travel, I get lost in markets, and I write it all down the same way I tell stories at the table — with a little sass, a little cheek, and a whole lot of sensory obsession. Expect recipes that don’t take themselves too seriously, restaurant reviews with actual honesty, and travel notes soaked in sunshine, spice, and questionable decisions.

Smoked Habanero powder

Hey, I just received a pack of these. What do you do with them? I guess I would add them to a goulash stew or with mashed potatoes. ANy other ideas?
