MUTHA SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a large saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions, green peppers, and jalapeños and give them a stir. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook til soft and golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Dump in everything else except the Liquid Smoke. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the sauce simmers. Simmer for 10 minutes. Swirl in the Liquid Smoke and let the sauce cool. Pour it into a container, cover, and store in the fridge til ready to use.
• Variation: Hot BBQ Sauce
• Add 2 or 3 seeded and minced habanero peppers (about 1 1/2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon) along with the onions, peppers, and jalapeños. Also add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper along with the other ingredients for extra punch.

HOT AS A MUTHA PASTA

• In a food processor, combine the peppers, onions, shallots and olive oil and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and reduce the sauce over low heat for 15 to 25 minutes. Then bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Mix in the spaghetti and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Garnish with Parmesan, sliced habanero peppers and a whole habanero on top!

CLAM, SHRIMP, & SCALLOP PAN ROAST

Steps:

• Give the clams a good scrubbing, discarding any with cracked or open shells. Set aside. Heat the oil over medium-high in a pan that you can cover later. Throw in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the clam juice, wine, and Mutha Sauce. When the mixture is bubbling, add the clams. Cover and cook til the clams open, 3 to 5 minutes. Pull out the clams as they open, and keep them warm. (Pitch any clams that don't open.)
• Boil and reduce the pan juices over high heat for about 8 minutes. Sprinkle in the red pepper and season up the sauce with Worcestershire.
• Toss in the shrimp and scallops. Simmer til they're cooked and have just turned opaque, about 4 minutes. Swirl in the cream and basil. Return the clams to the pan, and gently stir together all the shellfish. Sprinkle with parsley and serve steaming hot.
