1c peanuts
1/2 onion
1/3c veg oil
5-6 guajillo
10-12 árbol
1 habanero de seeded
1-2 teaspoons vinegar
3/4c water
Salt to taste (probably more than you think… maybe a whole tablespoon)
I cooked the onions and peanuts in the oil, scooped em out and then cooked the dried chilis in the same oil. I think 1-2 minutes is plenty for both, even less for the chilis.
Blend on high, add water, I like using ice cubes at the end because I always prefer my salsa cold.
Very interesting peanut flavor with a great spice profile
Don’t be like me – buy pre shelled peanuts. It took me 30 minutes to shell 1 c of peanuts. I wanted no salt on the peanuts then ended up putting quite a lot in the end so your mileage may vary.
And, yes! This was inspired by a question posted in the last few days by another member

Ooh…this looks good! I saw that post the other day as well and definitely was intrigued. Going to try this recope for sure.
Nice, I posted about looking for this type of recipe the other day & im thankful to use this post as a guideline
Looks like a salsa I’d like to try. Thanks for adding your recipe.
I haven’t had salsa like this in a long time it is really great and has a great spice profile, Thanks for the Memories
This looks outstanding! I need to make this asap, I love peanuts. Thanks for sharing 😁
Haha like 5 minutes ago I subscribed to this subreddit and thought “why would I do that? I don’t even really like salsa” and then this is the first post I see. I’m gonna make that tomorrow for sure, looks delicious
For real, this kind of salsa is a hit every time I make it. Some things I do different: more Chile de arbol, add a tablespoon or so of sesame seeds, add a few romas. I’ll toast all the ingredients on a sheet pan (except the dried chiles) under a broiler, blend everything, run it through a strainer, and then fry the blended salsa in oil.
