Add 1/2 blood orange including rind, minced.
Try a Serrano but less than this recipe calls for. More heat than a jalapeño but not as much as a habanero. Use not more than one
I have to make this and traditional since the family not crazy about the jalepenos. That's okay. More for me.. This is the best thing on the table at thanksgiving.
Couldn’t find red jalapeño so I used 2 habaneros without seeds. Delicious!! Perfect spice level.
Stunning....just what I needed to give some meats and "things" a bump up!
I doubled the recipe but kept the Jalapenos at only 2. It was still too hot for 11 out of 12 people. Otherwise it was tasty.
