If ever someone mentions that you shouldn’t touch any sensitive part of your body after handling a peper, especially a hot one, you should listen to them. Which I did, for a while. However, when you start doing 5 things at once, those memories get blured a bit and tend to forget. Well while making my Sweet and Spicy Hawaiian Chili, I kinda forgot I cut up a habenjero pepper and then touched “near” my eye. Yeah, yeah wrong move eh? Well, I didn’t actually touch my eye but when I realized I touched near it I rushed to flush my eye out. So I washed my hands with soap and water real good. Then ran soap and water over the affected area. Yeah really should have thought that though, the fire and pain followed soon after. I rushed to my bathroom and blindly pulled out my contacts after washing my hands yet again, that was yet more pain. After frantically getting my contacts out, they needed to be replaced anyways, I proceeded to gush water in my eyes. This went on for, oh, 5 mins. After which I felt a little better, but they still burned. Went in to the kitchen and got ice. You can’t imagine how good the ice felt. It soon subsided, but wow was that an experience I only wish on my enemies.
For those who would like my open source Sweet and Spicy Hawaiian Chilly (Leslie would call it death chili), its as followed (amount relative to size of pot):
- 5 or so cans of black beans (I used bushes)
- 2 cans of tomato sauce
- 2Â sweet onions (saluted)
- 2 green peppers (saluted)
- 1 habenjero
- < 2ish lbs of 99% fat free ground turkey (I think I ended with about 1/2 or so lbs left over)
- Can of sweet corn
- 3 packets of Chili powder stuff
- 3 tomatos diced
- 1/2 a pineapple diced
- Lots of garlic (I think I used 2 teaspoons of minced)
Mix it all together and let simmer for a few hrs. Everyone said they loved it.
Its open source so I’ll give credit where credit is due. My recipe was based off of Kristen Hamilton’s recipe. Modified heavily though. If you find this recipe good let me know, if you make modifications to it, please give credit to me in some way and send me your updates so I can try it for myself!
