Habenero oil

[dcrf]

Just made a pint of habenero oil.Hotter than F#####,Any ideas what to do with it?

[AndrewK512]

Blend it with some spices, onion, salt and rum and make jerk chicken.

Very scary. Drizzle it around your garden to keep the rabbits out!

Not sure what/how you cook, but here's how I'd probably use it:

Drizzled on frozen pizzas
eggs
as the oil component for anything that needs bhuning
the oil for a vinaigrette
The oil for popping popcorn!
I'd use it in any savory dish that any reg oil would be used if you enjoy a little heat and the fruity flavor of the habanero.

Nigerian stews use a lot of habaneros/scotch bonnets. Here's a blog that features Nigerian recipes and especially this spicy turkey stew, which I've been meaning to try:

I've never tried dried habaneros. How did you dry them?

[dcrf]

I dried them in my oven about 190 deg Stem seeds in all.ground them in my blender.Be really carefull about the fumes.

[d_doubleyew]

Yeah, I'm sure there are some powerful fumes generated...

The oil would probably be great for stir-frying or drizzled over hot or cold starches like noodles, potatoes, even eggs. Enjoy!
