I’ve been cooking a LOT with ghost peppers lately because my ghost pepper plants are REALLY productive this year. Good for me! I get to add more to my ghost pepper recipes to really spice things up. If you want to cook with ghost peppers, you need to be ready for the heat. Ghost peppers, aka Bhut Jolokias, top out at over 1 Million Scoville Heat Units, which is roughly 200+ times hotter than an average jalapeno pepper. Yes, that is some very nice heat there, but as mentioned, with that heat comes some excellent flavor. And that extends to this salsa. Oh yeah! You’ll notice some heat right off the bat, but ghost pepper salsa is more of a blooming heat, so after a few more bites, you’ll notice the warmth building in your mouth. If you’re not used to ghost pepper heat, get ready for a little sweat. But not much! All of my ghost pepper loving friends will LOVE this salsa for sure. NOTE: This recipe is extremely similar to my Fresh Ghost Pepper Salsa Recipe, but we’re extending the recipe steps to include processing and simmering to make more of a picante style sauce. Here we go! Chop the peppers, tomato and onion, then add them to a bowl with the lime juice and cilantro. Toss everything together to combine it. Add in a few sprinkles of salt to your personal tastes! Next, Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and process it until it is nice and smooth. Add the ingredients to a pan and bring to a quick boil. Simmer it for about 15 minutes to let the flavors develop. DONE! It’s that easy. Truly. Don’t you just love easy food? Salsas are easy. I like to cover it and let it chill in the refrigerator at this point to let the flavors develop even further, but honestly, you can eat it once it’s cooled if you’d like. Or, if you’re looking for extra heat, this recipe can easily use up to 10 ghost peppers or more. Make it REALLY hot if you want! Sure!

Ghost Pepper Salsa Serving Suggestions
Salsas are always popular on game day gatherings, or pretty much any party situation. Try some of my Game Day Recipes for more ideas. I also like to use salsa as a topper for any grilled or roasted meats, like chicken, pork, and especially fish. White fish LOVES a good salsa, and it makes for a healthy meal.
