[karadekoolaid]

Ingredients:
1 Pasilla chile, toasted
1/4 red onion
1/2 fresh tomato
3 tbsps peanut butter
Salt to taste
Olive oil to thin

Method:
Remove the seeds from the Pasilla chile. Dry fry (ie. no oil) the onion and tomato for a minute or so. Then place all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

This looks good. And, another quality I like: it's easy. I can see spinning it up with 1 teaspoon to start, then gradually adding more to see what it does. This would be an easy (and tasty) science experiment. It looks like I could use an Anaheim pepper if I can't find a Pasilla.

I think you can happily fiddle around with it. I used a pasilla because that's what I had, apart from some chiltepin, which would have made it hot. (No problem for me, of course!)

I think my stepson would like this with a little heat. He likes peppers for the sake of heat. He also loves peanut butter.

Then get him to make it with habanero chiles, instead of pasilla. I'd be happy with that, since I also love the heat.
