It's Not Easy Being Green...And Hotter than Hades

I promised myself to cook with a green pumpkin this year. Here is the perfect candidate for that vow. Not too small, not too big, just right Goldilocks! Armed with the information I recently read that says green pumpkins are a bit like chayote squash, I proceeded. The first recipe made with this lovely also uses other green items. The other green items are not cool customers....Habaneros!

Green Habanero Hot Sauce



10 green habaneros chillis

6 tomatillos

2 tsp. sugar

1/4 c. onion, small diced

1/2 c. green pumpkin, small diced

Heat to soften. Set aside to cool.



When cool, place ingredients in a blender and add:

1 tsp. cumin

1/2 c. white vinegar (white wine vinegar, or rice vinegar will be just fine)

juice of 1 lime

2 cloves of garlic

1 shot spiced rum



Process to a nice sauce. Enjoy carefully!

Remember I asked, "Want beer?"


Our nice garden hops are being used for two different batches of home-brewed beer. Stay tuned!

We harvested the potatoes and have been enjoying those greatly.

I'm hopping around the recipes in The Great British Baking book now, giving biscuits a break for now. Why not try the Naan recipe for a nice Chicken Tikka Masala?
