We use it on everything - steaks, pork chops, burgers. Gotta get the "California Style" though.

I dry-out habaneros, and use an old coffee grinder to make my own pepper.

Yes, I'm a food masochist.

Montreal steak seasoning, Goya Adobo, and Old Bay are always on hand. I also like to make up my own blends from scratch. I blend my own taco seasoning, rubs for steaks, chicken whatever. They also have chipotle powder in the stores. That makes it into a lot of my proprietary blends.

yup, we called them scotch bonnets, big heat in allittle package.

Have you tried the the Habanero version of the popular Tabasco sauce at 7,000 to 8,000 Scoville units, making it the spiciest sauce they offer.

XXXXHabanaro has a delayed "in the back of your throat" kind of heat, that keeps gaining momentum untill your spitting fire. add a tablespoon of XXXX and even the cheap store brand salsa tastes great.

I'm not a huge fan of heat that lingers. I'm a whore for wasabi or horseradish though. I love a good teary eyed burn as long as it goes away shortly after eating.


As for spices. I do have Montreal Steak and Old Bay, but rarely use either of them, even though they are quite good. I have a FULL spice cabinet that I use differently with whatever my desired flavor calls for. Fresh Herbs are a must also.

Actually, they are 2 slightly different peppers. Habs are more common in Mexican whereas Scotch Bonnets are usually Caribbean/Jamaican. I think the Bonnets are hotter, but I don't remember off-hand. I have eaten them both raw, but when they are that hot, its hard to tell the difference.

Yup, Habanero Tobasco is pretty durn good. I had some sauce once while sailing in the Bahamas that literally gave me a bleeding ulcer. That was finally something I would call "too hot"

If I remember they are the two types of one species of chili pepper so slightly diferent. I think the pods are diferent.
