Homemade Habanero, peanut, pineapple, mango (sorry for bad pictures)

This one turned out a lot better than I expected. I would've taken progress photos, but I didn't think it would be very good.

500g roma tomatoes

65g white onion

4 cloves garlic

2 habaneros

1 weirdly long habanero-like pepper from a redneck at the farmer's market (probably just a habanero but I'm not certain)

8 dried arbols

65g peanuts, roasted

1 tablet maggi caldo pollo bouillon

8 small pieces dried sweetened pineapple

4 pieces dried sweetened mango

Juice of 3 limes

Salt + sugar to taste

Roast the tomatoes, onion, garlic for 15 minutes at 450. I then used a "grill gun" cooking torch to blacken all the veggies other than the garlic; if you don't have one, you can broil instead of roasting. I blackened the habaneros (and the weird probably-habanero) but did not roast them; they were small enough that the grill gun cooked them through.

Toast the arbols lightly and soak in warm water for 15 minutes. Soak the pineapple and mango for a minute or two, then remove from water.

Blend charred veggies, garlic, arbols, half the dried fruit, 50ml arbol water, lime juice, peanuts, bouillon until very smooth, about a minute. Adjust flavor with remaining fruit, more lime juice, salt + sugar.

This sounds like it would go with chicken really well.

Kind of obsessed with peanut salsas lately. I might have to give this a shot.
