I made some of my popular Pico de Gallo salsa for a short bomberman night with some of my friends that went on Friday night. We grilled three types of bratwurst, two types of Hebrew National hot dogs, had two kinds of pico with tortilla scoop chips, had some mexican dipping cheese, misc sodas, and for controlling the heat had three kinds of cheese sliced up, along with some mini snickers. Cheese and chocolate help a good bit in containing the monster heat of some of the food I cook.
I figured I would include some of those food photos here. Let me know what you think.
Group shot of the three containers. One was medium heat, two were nuclear heat (with one going to this 80 year old pepper head friend of mine I get fresh peppers from when my own crop is low).
Medium pico containing: three types of tomatoes, two types of onion, fresh cilantro, lemon juice, lime juice, seasonings, fresh jalapeņo, serrano, hot banana, poblano, tabasco, I believe new mexico (or anaheim), pecker pepper, and patio bell.
Nuclear pico containing: three types of tomatoes, two types of onion, fresh cilantro, lemon juice, lime juice, seasonings, fresh jalapeņo, serrano, hot banana, poblano, tabasco, I believe new mexico (or anaheim), pecker pepper, patio bell, naga morich (the hottest rated pepper in the world, also known as bhut jolokia), and red habenaro.
I added a bit more tomato to each before heading to the event, if you're thinking it does not have enough tomato versus peppers. The medium was spicy not too bad. The nuclear however, kicked the ass of everyone who tried it. Two of the guys managed one chip with some on it and it was too much, burning them for at least 20 minutes. Another guy ate a bit more, maybe 10 chips. I had a plate full of it with chips and mexican cheese dip. Then I had 5 tablespoons this morning with chips. lol I have a lot left over. heh
