Habanero Salsa

5.0

(2)

Fiery habaneros impart brightness to a rich pork dish like Yucatecan-style pork.

Cooks' notes:

·Salsa can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
·In place of the Seville (bitter) orange juice, you can use 1/4 cup fresh regular orange juice plus 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, stirred together.
