Sandia Seed's 
Trinidad Scorpion Salsa Recipe

 

INGREDIENTS:

4-5 Large Fresh Heirloom Tomatoes
(use any fresh Heirloom Tomatoes)
~or~ 
1 Large (28oz) can Organic Whole Tomatoes
1/2 Cup - Fresh Cilantro leaves (use as much as you'd like)
1 Trinidad Scorpion Pepper (adjust to taste*)
1/2 Onion (diced)
3-4 Garlic Cloves
Fresh Lime Juice (1 lime)
1/2 teaspoon of Sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon of Cumin & Chile Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Process everything (excluding onions) in a food processor. Add onions at end and blend for just a second or two so the onions don't get chopped up too fine – a little chunk in your salsa is what you want! Put the Trinidad Scorpion salsa in the fridge for an hour+ for flavors & spice to develop.

*Feel free to use as much or as little of the Trinidad Scorpion Pepper to taste - they are HOT! We usually add a sliver of a dried or fresh pepper, then process the salsa, taste it with a clean spoon, and if it's not spicy enough, we add another slice and repeat until we get to the desired spiciness. You can add a whole pepper, too, but know it will be a spicy batch of salsa!

Don't have any Trinidad Scorpions? Grow your own!

Also, ANY Hot Peppers Work in this Recipe!
Use any hot pepper in this recipe, they're all delicious – you can try classic Jalapeños (just add 2 or 3+ Jalapeños to desired heat, don't scoop out seeds if you like the spice!)

Salsa Tasting Party Idea:
Try out different peppers and have a hot salsa tasting party! 

Enjoy this super hot Trinidad Scorpion salsa with tortilla chips or on tacos, or really anything that you want to spice up. Yum!
