SALSA ROJA RECIPE - MEXICAN RED TABLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add tomatoes, onion, peppers, garlic, cilantro and lime juice to a food processor. Process until fairly smooth.
• Heat a large pot to medium heat and add olive oil. Add the salsa and it will sear quickly.
• Add cumin and bit of salt.
• Bring to a quick boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• Season with salt if needed and stir.
• Cool and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Serve it up in a squeeze bottle like they do in Mexican restaurants for fun!

SALSA ROJA

Steps:

• Start by roasting the tomatoes in a 400F oven.
• Use a damp towel to wipe off any dusty crevasses on the dried chiles. To de-seed them it's easiest to cut off the stem and make a slit lengthwise, then use your hands to pull out the ribs and seeds.
• Saute 1/2 onion and 3 whole garlic cloves in a dollop of oil over medium heat. When the onion starts to soften add the dried chiles. (It's worth cutting the chiles into smaller pieces before adding them to the pan.)
• Let the chiles cook for a few minutes and then add the roasted tomatoes to the pan along with: 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, freshly cracked black pepper, 2.5 cups water. (I also add 1 chipotle in adobo and 1 tablespoon of adobo sauce but this is optional.)
• Simmer for 5 minutes or so and then add everything to a blender and combine well.
• Strain the sauce over a mixing bowl and discard the leftover solids. You might have to use a spoon or spatula to push the sauce through the strainer.
• Taste for salt level. I added another pinch of salt along with a splash of cider vinegar.
• Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge (in a squeeze bottle!).

EASY SALSA ROJA

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend well so onions are cut up finely and all ingredients are mixed together well.
• I have found to determine if the salsa is "perfect", it is better to taste it with a tortilla chip rather than with the sauce alone. Sometimes it is perfect the way the recipe is, other times I'll add more of the jalapenos, cilantro, vinegar, lime or salt depending on taste.
• Let the salsa the set over night for best flavor. You can eat it after about an hour in the fridge, but over night is best.
• This is one of those recipes you'll make a few times and modify to make your own perfect blend of salsa.
