Ive seen some salsas down in mexico that are creamy, and damn good. Ive seen a creamy habenero type, and also a creamy type serrano salsa. Tried like hell to replicate with no luck. Anybody?
 
There is a guy on here that made the best salsa I've ever had. I got the recipe from him, but I was sworn to secrecy, so I hesitate to reveal who it was.

I'm only posting to give props. I've made the recipe with a couple of minor subs, because I didn't have the exact peppers he called for, and it was still fantastic, but just short of being as good as his.

I can say that we chowed down on it this past summer at a brewday.

His homemade bacon was easily the best bacon I've ever had in my life too. I wish I'd tried it before I ordered my hog's bacon premade. Pork Belly is expensive!
