Description

Red Rocoto Salsa is a great way to use some of the delicious deep heat of this fiery South American pepper. One Rocoto plant can be quite prolific and the round, apple like peppers pack a lot of heat, coming in as high as 100,000 on the scoville scale. This recipe brings the fire but tones it down with tomato and onion.
