Early August Pepper Fresca
Just something to keep in mind when you have fresh peppers in the garden... so delicious!
1 habanaro pepper or whatever other pepper you've got growing.
1 chopped shallot or half small onion
Juice of half or one full lime. Can sub lemon, or even vinegar in a pinch. The lime is the ideal though.
1 tsp or so of kosher salt
Chop finely and mix. Delicious as a topping on almost all Mexican and Indian dishes. Anything that needs that green spark. Of course if you add in tomato and coriander you're at salsa fresca, but sometimes I really just like a pure green topping. Letting the pepper be the star before the tomatoes ripen does them justice.
Oh! And if you have an unripe green tomato that falls too early like the one that did today, throw it in.
It's a great way to turn a mishap into a victory.
