Salsa De Morita Recipes

SALSA DE CHILE MORITA

Steps:

• Soak chiles in a bowl of very hot water until softened, 20-25 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender.
• Meanwhile, cook tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a dry large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high, turning often, until softened and charred in spots, 5-8 minutes. Set onion and garlic aside; transfer tomatoes to blender.
• Once cool enough to handle, peel onion and garlic and place in blender along with oil, vinegar, and sugar. Blend until smooth. Season with salt.
• Do ahead: Salsa can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.
