Simple salsa de molcajete

Hey all,

Here’s my simple ‘go to’ salsa!

Recipe:

Cooked ingredients:

6-8 romas depending on size
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/4 white onion sliced
2-3 serranos

Uncooked ingredients:
Cilantro
Green onion
1 lime (squeezed)
Salt (to taste)

Cook instructions:
Throw all the cooked ingredients in a pan lined with any oil (I use olive or avocado) and char/flip until all the veggies are browned/charred and throughly cooked (they should be shriveled a bit).

Molcajete instructions:

1. Cut and de-stem the serranos, and quarter the onion, add them to molcajete with the garlic, and mash until it’s a paste.. if you want it more chunky, you can mash less, but I prefer to make it 90/10 in terms of paste/chunks. Make sure to get the paste all over the bowl of the molcajete!!

2. Add romas to be mashed, but make sure to de-skin them about 80% and cut the stem end off while, only leaving only charred skin. Mash away until you get the consistency you want!! In this picture it’s mashed quite a bit!!

3. Throw in diced/chopped cilantro and green onion, squeeze 1 lime, and add salt to taste.. I prefer kosher but table is just fine!! Then mash a little bit more!!

Enjoy right away as it will be warm OR put it in the fridge and let it sit.. Either way is great!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Stay Safe!!
