This salsa has been tricky for me to get down because there are so many variations, including how much oil (and water?) to add to the final product. This one has chile de árbol, peanuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, grapeseed oil, and a tiny bit of apple cider vinegar & salt. It tastes nutty and spicy as hell. Next time I'd like to add some dried cranberries and see how that comes out.

I bought salsa macha at a farmers market recently and it was jaw droppingly good. But also jaw droppingly expensive, so I’ve been meaning to join you in experimenting with it. Did you use dried chiles or fresh?
Ooofta that does look spicy, wish I could try it!
I did something like this on accident. Toasted the peppers, blackened the onion and garlic, then blended with basil and peanuts . Peanuts was until I wouldn’t burn off my tongue.
