The menu: a taco bar this month with house-made tortillas, beans, rice, chicken, slaw, homemade salsas, and whatever vegetables come our way!

Patty Pan’s Famous Hot Sauce (makes 2 cups)

The trick to this hot sauce is to make it as spicy as you can without letting the heat drown out the other wonderful flavors. If you use a variety of types of chiles, you’ll get layers of chiles flavor.

1 pound ripe summer tomatoes

1 pound mild chiles, such as Anaheim's or poblanos

¼ pound hot chiles, such as jalapeños or serranos (or fewer if you’re using extra hot varieties, such as habaneros)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Rub the olive oil on the chiles and arrange them on a baking sheet, along with the tomatoes. Roast until the tomatoes are very soft and the chiles are starting to brown.

Remove the cores from the tomatoes and the stems from the chiles. Transfer them to a food processor, along with the vinegar and salt, and puree until smooth.
