Step 2: Killer Salad

pest02.JPG
Take the vegetables and begin cutting them up. It doesn't have to be pretty, since nobody's going to eat it!

Chop up the 2 onions, the garlic and half or 3/4 of the jalapeño pepper. The seeds can be left in, since they're hot too.

Blend all the veggies together until pasty in a blender. The killer salad is now a killer paste.

***Take care not to rub your eyes or face after handling the liquid or the vegetables. The pepper especially can really burn if it gets in the eye!***

Can you use something hotter than jalapeno? They're pretty mild IMO. ;)

I'd bet that you could go as hot as you could get. I ate a tiny little pepper off some unknown pepper bush and it was easily the hottest I ever had. No rabbit on earth would like that.

Usually the smaller it is, the hotter it is. The problem here is that smaller chillis would have a smaller proportion per litre in the mix. Might be better to go with increased quantity of the standard chillis than to go with the same number of chillis, but hotter (unless you can find some ultra hot ones that are the same size as regular ones)

The strongest, as far as I know, is the Habanero or Scotch Bonnet.  It's orange, and about two inches across when ripe.  I have seen it in the local supermarket.

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is the current hottest in the world. The #2 is the Bhut Jolokia. These are dangerous peppers.

your eyes are not the only place you have to look out for, one time when i was an 11 year old i was cutting some hot chillies i forget what kind and i had to go take a leak, i unzipped and you can imagine the rest, i was screaming and crying just wash your hands very thoroughly before you touch anything sensitive, trust me

At this point you can add some tomatoes, some salt and have an awesome salsa. Just don't grind it to a paste.
