Orange Habanero salsa

Recipe By : Katrine Kirk via the Chile-heads
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chile-heads Salsa

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 habanero (to have medium heat - add more
if you like)
2 carrots
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp. chopped white onion
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup ginger pickle juice (or substitute fresh -- 1 tsp.
sugar
ginger and a little water)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 orange zestted

I steamed the carrots and garlic with water until soft in the microwave.
(You could use them raw for a sharper flavour and crunchier texture.) Put
everything in the blender and pureed till smooth. Adjust flavours. (More
lemon or salt might be good.)
It was delicious as a thick condiment with my pasta with pesto, and also a
great topping on a cold potato salad today. The sauce thickened overnight in
the refrigerator, and I suspect it will keep for about a week.
It's such a beautiful, bright orange colour!
