Habanero Cream Sauce Recipes

HABANERO PEPPER CREAM PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic and habanero pepper, and cook until lightly browned. Pour cream into a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the ingredients from the skillet, along with the tomato. Mix in the flour and black pepper, and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese, and remove from heat. Allow sauce to cool for a few minutes before serving over pasta.

HABANERO HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Give the habaneros a good rinse and de-stem them. Out of habit, I usually scrape out the seeds and pith of habaneros but you can consider this optional. Use caution (or gloves) when handling habanero peppers.
• Saute a roughly chopped onion and 2 whole, peeled garlic cloves in a dollop of oil. It's best to use a non-reactive pan for this recipe with stainless steel being a good option.
• Once the onion has softened (5-8 minutes) add the six habanero peppers, 3/4 cup peach, 1/4 cup pineapple, 1" piece of peeled ginger, 3/4 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes or until everything is at a uniform temp.
• Add mixture to a blender or food processor and combine well.
• Take a taste. It will be plenty hot so consider yourself warned! You can add dashes of agave or honey to sweeten it up and temper the heat if you want.
• Serve immediately or store in hot sauce bottles in the fridge where it will keep for at least a month.

HABANERO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roast peppers in preheated oven until nearly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove and discard seeds and stems from peppers. Transfer peppers to a food processor. Blend peppers and 2 tablespoons milk in the food processor until smooth.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until bubbly. Stir flour into the melted butter; cook until the mixture starts to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pepper mixture to the flour mixture. Begin whisking milk into the mixture; cook, whisking regularly, until it begins to thicken, thinning with additional milk as needed. Season with salt and paprika. Sprinkle cilantro over the sauce to serve.

ROASTED TOMATO AND HABANERO SAUCE

Steps:

• .Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Place tomatoes in a roasting pan and rub with most of the olive oil. Bake for 1 hour, stir gently once to prevent sticking. Rub peppers with some oil and add to the tomatoes.
• Return to the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, stir, then bake another 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove, place in a blender with the onion, water and vegetable oil, and puree. Stir in cilantro and salt.
