This vibrant Yucatán-style habanero salsa is a staple of Mexican coastal cuisine, offering a sophisticated balance of intense heat and bright acidity. By charring the habanero chillies and roasting the garlic in their skins, you unlock a deep, smoky undertone that perfectly complements the sharp tang of fresh lime juice. It is a bold, aromatic condiment that brings an authentic punch to any table.
As a naturally vegan and gluten-free accompaniment, this salsa is incredibly versatile. It works wonderfully when drizzled over roasted vegetables, stirred into black bean stews, or served alongside grilled proteins. Because habaneros are particularly potent, this recipe is best suited for those who appreciate a genuine kick of heat. Serve it chilled or at room temperature for the best flavour profile.
