This is a sweet-and-sour habanero chile salsa from the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Habanero, usually red or yellow, is an extremely fiery chile, often confused with the infamous Scotch bonnet, which is also lantern-shaped. Despite its intense heat it has a fruity tome that goes particularly well with fruits and tomatoes. Use it sparingly, and take care when handling it. If you prefer, use milder chiles.

Lovely with grilled [c or 2Favorites].

Seville oranges (bitter oranges) are not widely available but may sometimes be found in Caribbean grocery stores. If you can't find them, use ordinary oranges, but add a little lime juice to give that sour effect.
