Mojo Picante

Ingredients

CANNED/BOTTLED
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar

DRY CONDIMENTS
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
4 chili peppers

FRESH CONDIMENTS
2 habanero peppers
12 leaves cilantro
4 cloves garlic
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 carrot

OPTIONAL
Onion
Red Pimento

Instructions
Place all ingredients, except for the bay leaf, in blender and puree.
Pour into sterilized air tight glass jar together with bay leaf and optional diced red pimento for decoration and added flavor. Keep in fridge up to a month.
Prepare at least one day before intended use date.

Use with care (hot!). Place on dish, not on food, until you understand how hot this is. A few drops, half a teaspoon, is excellent in soups. Mix a little bit with your mayonnaise for hot dogs and burgers. Also excellent in dips!
