Inspired by others posting here I had to make this salsa as I love peanuts and salsa both very much.
I made the recipe I found on a food blog except that I doubled the ingredients for a larger batch and I had to use ancho peppers instead of guajillo as I couldn’t find any locally. It’s quite spicy when freshly blended but after it sits in the refrigerator a while it mellows considerably. I may up the arbols a tad next time. Definitely making it again. Thanks to everyone for introducing me to this delicious salsa.

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups unsalted roasted peanuts
1 small or half of a large white onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic
20 árbol chiles, stemmed
2 ancho chile, stemmed and seeded
2 cups water
2 teaspoons kosher salt

  1. Salsa looks great! Though I fear for your cast iron with the metal spatula

    That looks good. Seems related to salsa macha. I make that with cashews to avoid killing my friends with peanut allergies.
