Chef’s Notes: To re-hydrate dry chilies, place them in a small bowl add boiling water, cover with plastic wrap, wait 20 minutes, drain water then puree in blender with enough water to make it go around. Also, when handling habanero pepper you might want to use plastic gloves, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES..these are very hot peppers.
