Hi all --

Tried a new hot sauce recipe this weekend and thought I would share.  It's
from the new Rick Bayless cookbook -- Mexico One Plate at a Time (?).

Ingredients:

8 habaneros, preferably of the same color (aesthetics)
2 large cloves garlic (I used 4)
2 Tbl. lime juice
Sea salt

Roast habaneros and garlic on a dry cast iron pan until partially blackened
and soft.  Mash into a paste in a molcajete (sp?), then stir in lime juice,
some sea salt to taste, and enough water to get the consistency you like.

So far, I've used it as a dip for chips, a flavoring for Crowder peas,
stirred into rice, and spread on sandwiches.  I love this stuff.
