CHIPOTLE, PEANUT AND SESAME SEED SALSA

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet until it is very hot but not smoking. Add the peanuts and garlic, then cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly. The peanuts should just begin to turn color. Be careful to not let them scorch, which can happen quickly.
• Add the sesame seeds and chiles, and continue to stir and fry for a minute or until the chiles are lightly toasted.
• Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents, including all of the oil, to a food processor or blender. Add the salt, sugar and vinegar, and blend until almost smooth. (The salsa should be uniform but have a little texture to it.)
• Pour into a container and let cool. Refrigerate the salsa if you are not using it the day you make it.
