Recipe : Salsa X-Ni-Pek

This strange-looking name means sauce hot enough to heat a dog's nose--and it is!
Habanero peppers are more than hot, with a fruity aroma like no other. Removing the seeds
and veins will cool the fire a bit. By all means, wear gloves when handling this pepper!
Serve this sauce as a condiment with just about anything: eggs, fish, poultry or meat, or
stir a spoonful into soup just before serving. Recipe may be prepared ahead; refrigerate,
covered, for up to 3 days.

Makes 6 servings

1 cup finely chopped yellow tomatoes*
1/2 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup loosely packed finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 medium habanero pepper, seeded, deveined and minced
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon grapefruit juice

In small bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, pepper, zest and orange, lime and
grapefruit juices; let stand 30 minutes, until flavors are blended.

* Yellow tomatoes give this sauce a gorgeous color, but if they are not available use red
ones. If habanero peppers are not available, substitute 2 medium serrano peppers. The
zest of the orange is the peel without any of the pith (white membrane). To remove zest
from orange, use a zester or the side of a vegetable grater.
