| Fresh picked fatalii chiles w/ heatless habaneros & wee pequins |
This is a deliciously HOT
butter of the perfect texture and flavor.
Add as few or as many habanero chilies as y’all enjoy. I like mine devilishly HOT!! You will use a full pound of organic
butter for this recipe, divided use. We tone the texture & add
more flavor by combining organic dairy butter w/ organic coconut oil and
coconut milk as well as evoo. This
butter holds a fine texture when chilled and melts readily onto warm
foods. It sautés well, doesn’t
burn or brown too rapidly and imparts it’s flavorful heat into whatever you
pair it with.

| The green before the gold. This one plant has over 50 fatalii chilies on it |
I developed this recipe to
showcase the flavor of the very prolific fatalii chili growing in my garden
this summer. Wikipedia tells us
it’s the 7th hottest chili del mundo. The flavors are fresh and fruity, the heat intense from the
first bite with a nice lingering burn.

Directions:
Grind the above in a blender
to a smooth paste. I like to let
the chilies sit in the blender jar for an hour or so to infuse and
macerate. Then I blend again to
break down the chilies even more.

We’re in an organic food
lovers renaissance right now. Do
choose organic grass fed dairy whenever possible.
Support the flavor & the changes in animal husbandry. It’s a win win all around. The same is true for agriculture. Organic coconut oil is eco friendly
while commercially farmed is likely not.
Let’s be proud of our footprints on a daily basis. We vote w/ every dollar we spend. We can be the change we wish to see on
this beautiful blue green planet who is most truly our Mother Earth!
And now, some serving suggestions. The possibilities are as HOT as the Fatalii Butter.
 |
| The fatalii frittata w/ organic yam, eggplant & cherry tomato |
 |
| HOT Fried Rice. Always a winner. This is with the famous Avanti organic brown rice medley, organic egg scramble and Huntington Beach Farmers Market zucchini, onion & cilantro. |
 |
| Fatalii butter seared cauliflower steak w/ guava roasted tofu, baby kale, cilantro miso & preserved lemon tomato relish |
 |
| Organic brown and wild rice quenelles browned in Fatalii butter & golden oil top golden tomato & miso horseradish sauce w/ basil blossom heirloom tomato salsa |
Most of the vegetables above are from the Tuesday evening Huntington Beach Farmers Market. Support your local farmers. Many of the farmers there use organic principles but are not certified due to certification costs. Do you trust your farmer?
Not pictured, but oh so amazing, would be a simple grilled cheese made w/ Avanti Fatalii Buttered 1000000+++ grain bread, buffalo mozzarella, wild arugula & avocado. This butter is also perfect at the table as your extra HOT summertime butter to spread on cornbread, corn on the cob, muffins and more. When you taste how it melts into warm banana bread, you will surely Freak OUT Fatalii.
