"The Cure" (chile garlic paste)

This is a new paste I've been working on.  It is good! Definateley not for everyone, but for those of you with a taste for adventure, try this one!  Use it on anything you would put hot sauce on or in.  I will post some of the ideas I have used it in at the end of the recipe.

25-30 serrano peppers, stems removed

2 whole bulbs of fresh garlic, peeled and crushed,( you can substitute 1 cup of minced garlic in the jar here, but it won't be as good)

1 large onion, chopped fine

2 bunches green onions, white and green finely sliced

1 cup crushed red pepper flakes ( yes, a whole cup)

3 Tbs. garlic powder

3 Tbs. kosher salt

2 Tbs. freshly ground black pepper

Put the peppers into the food processor and pulse until fine, but not pureed. transfer to a large bowl.  

Process garlic the same way , add to bowl.

Mix in all other ingredients and mix well.

Place in airtight, leak proof container. (I use steralized jars.) refrigerate.

Use right away, or allow to sit a couple of days to get stronger.  Keep for about a week, if it lasts that long, it is addictive!  Enjoy.

I have used this on Scrambled eggs, shrimp fra diavalo, stirfry, fried rice, as the base in pico de gallo, and vinegarette.
