Time 15m

Yield 3 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

11 -15 dried arbol chiles (8-10 dried arbol peppers for Mild, 11-15 medium, 16-20 for Hot)
1 (14 ounce) can DelMonte stewed tomatoes, with juice
1/2 small yellow onion
1 jalapeno
1 bunch cilantro
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Take the stems off the peppers and throw away the stems.
  • Place the peppers and seeds in the bender. Blend well.
  • Next toss in the stewed tomatoes with juice, 1 jalepeno (sliced), 1/2 yellow onion (quarterd), 1 garlic clove, handful of cilantro, lemon juice, salt and pepper and blend til you have the consistancy desired.
  • I dont like my salsa chunky, thats what Pico De Gallo is! I also dont want it to runny so it runs off your chips, so i just "pulse" it a few times.
  • If you feel the salsa looks to white from the onion this just means you need to add more cilantro to your salsa. Try the salsa with your chips and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Refridgerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN STYLE TABLE SALSA



Authentic Mexican Style Table Salsa image

This is an authentic mexican style table salsa. I have spent years perfecting this to achieve the taste of the salsas I had while in Mexico. It's a smooth table salsa which is typical of authentic mexican table salsa. You can make it as mild or hot as you like by adding or reducing the amount of chiltepines or chile pequins. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 1 quart, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes with juice
1/4 white onion
1 tomatillo, husk removed
1 serrano pepper
1 1/2-2 teaspoons salt (start at 1 1/2 and add to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
3/4-1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
3 chilies, de arbols (stems removed)
8 chilies, pequins
8 chiltepin chilies
1/2 cup water (from boiling vegetables)
12 fresh oregano leaves
10 fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan add onion, tomatillo and serrano and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil until tomatillo is soft and changes color to a more yellow color (about 10 minutes). While these are boiling, add a few tablespoons of oil to a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the chiltepins and chile pequins for about 10 seconds and remove to drain on a paper towel. Let cool completely. When vegetables are done boiling remove from water and let cool completely. Add everything into a blender and process until smooth.
  • Notes - I use 12 chile pequins and 10 chiltepins but I like my salsa pretty hot. Sometimes I will just use my deep fat fryer to toast the chiles instead of using the saute pan.
  • If you like your salsa more chunky, reserve half of the tomatoes and the onion, dice and stir in at the end.

PASILLA CHILI SAUCE (AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SALSA)



Pasilla Chili Sauce (Authentic Mexican Salsa) image

This sauce is used on the fried avocados that I have recipes for in my public cookbook. This sauce is commonly passed at the Oaxacan table to use with meats, for appetizers (antojitos) or with beans and soups. There were numerous recipes and some of the variations were to use a fruity vinegar. 1 whole head of garlic charred on grill. 1 stick cinnamon cooked with the peppers and oil. Coarse salt and crushed pepper to taste. Will keep in fridge for several days and freezing is not recommended.
