Honeyed Habanero and Toasted Garlic Tartar Sauce

Read Reviews (3)

"This delicious, just spicy enough tartar sauce is especially good with fried seafood. The honey really mellows the habanero and makes the tartar perfect." — Toasted Garlic

Directions

Heat the corn oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, habanero peppers, and sea salt. Cook and stir until the garlic begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir honey into water until dissolved, then pour into garlic mixture. Simmer until the water has almost evaporated, then scrape the mixture into a metal bowl.
Stir in cream, pickle, and mayonnaise. Place mixture into refrigerator, and chill until cold. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

The reviewer was right. If you are not used to the heat of habaneros, you will probably not enjoy this. A tip: sauté ONE habanero at medium to medium-high until all the pungent, heart-wrenchingly odorous steam comes off -- it will be a but blackened. This is a good tip for hot peppers in general, including jalapeños. All of which I call blackened chiles. This will make the sauce much more mild. Substituting one habanero for two will make a big difference, and also, the smaller the habanero, the HOTTER it will be. So, choose large ones.

Inedible as written: I used one habanero and even then I was the only one who could eat it. Halving the mayo and adding equal amt of yogurt helped tame the heat a bit more.

I only used one habanero, removed the seeds, and used a large habanero and sauteed as the previous reviewer suggested and it was still so crazy hot I couldn't eat it. My husband is one of those super hero types that can down even the most daunting pepper with a grin and even he said it would be far better if I'd only used half of a habanero. That being said, though I couldn't even come close to eating this stuff, he did enjoy it and I'm sure I'll be making it again- but with only a quarter of the habanero the recipe calls for :-)
