It's no ordinary blend, combining both powdered green and red jalapeños, as well as a variety of dried chili pods. Homemade onion, garlic and cumin powder make it a seasoning you'll want to use on everything.
Ingredients:
1 large whole yellow onion
2 green jalapeño peppers
1 red jalapeño pepper
30 cloves of garlic
1 oz arbol chili pods
1.5 oz NM red chili pods
1 oz puya chili pods
2 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1/4 cup dried oregano
Directions:
Slice thin and dry completely in the oven at its lowest setting:
1 large whole yellow onion
2 green jalapeño peppers
1 red jalapeño pepper
30 cloves of garlic
Toast in the oven for 1 hour at 170 degrees:
1 oz arbol chili pods
1.5 oz NM red chili pods
1 oz puya chili pods
Toast in the oven for 15 minutes at 170:
2 tbsp cumin seeds
With everything dried, and the chilis prepared (seeds, veins & stems removed), grind everything to a powder in a clean coffee or spice grinder. Combine it together well and store in an airtight container.
Note: it is easier to take off the stems, seeds and veins before drying the chili pods in the oven, however I like to do this afterwards. I am left with this yummy mix of super hot seeds and broken pieces of pods. I blend all of these scraps up into a fire hot seasoning! This stuff will burn you up if you use too much, so use it very sparingly!
I know all of this is a bunch of work! A whole day's worth if you consider that I bought everything fresh at the farmer's market. So, I made several batches and can sell 1oz reusable jars of this seasoning, as well as the super hot chili spice for $5 each + shipping.
