I stand corrected. It looks like the Naga Jolokia, after much debate over it's existance, has finally been proven to be hotter than the Habanero.

At 855,000 Scoville units, compared to the 200-300,000 rating of the Habanero, I can confidently that it would be well f--king hot

There is a Habanero variety of Tabasco Sauce but I haven't seen it on the shelves in Australia.

That stuff would be dynamite....
I grow habanero's and one sliver of it will burn your tongue guaranteed.
Can certainly recommend growing them if you're a chili head. They don't yield many chilis per plant (or mine haven't, anyway) but the heat more than makes up for it.
I'd probably boost it up a bit with a handful or so of normal cayenne or jalapeno's to give it more of the chili taste instead of just the bash round the head from the habaneros.

I usually get around 12 or so Habanero from my plant. & they go along way

Some fresh Cayenne would go well in place of the dry Cayenne & some of the Habanero.

Is it this one? They have a few varieties these days.

Purple monkey dishwasher!
Great recipe!!!
I cooked some up during the week and had the first meal of it last night. I made it slightly differently, using 2kg beef, a full longie of stout and left out the beef stock. And I cooked it in my slow cooker for 8+ hours. I added more chili to it but I didn't find it that hot, even with the 3 habaneros in there. But the long cooking time would have taken quite a bit of the bite out of them.
Cheers,

It's good, the next day, on Taco's/Burrito's too.
timmy, the Pork & Beef stock will give it more flavour

I wish we had a slow cooker

If you do get one, pay the extra and get the 5l. job. You`ll be glad you did.chris. wrote:It's tame for me too. When I cook it I'm cooking for the family... & they don't appreciate the heat
I add some jalapeno's to my bowl

I did a beef casserole in red wine, garlic and black pepper with mushrooms on slow for 6 hours this morning in our crockpot.
Wouldn`t be without one.
