This salsa is from a spot in NC called Sabor. They call the salsa, Green Monster but I'm curious if this style of salsa has a name? The only info online from the restaurant is charred jalapeños and onion. It is spicy, bitter and almost tastes like molé it's also very thick.
I took a Crack at it and it wasn't very close. I'm thinking I didn't commit to charing since I talked myself out of adding all the burnt bits. Carcinogens or whatever.. I also blended with vegetable oil which messed up the thickness I was after.

Looks like salsa a la ceniza or “ash salsa” , basically blackened jalapenos and onion.
Edit, I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted, this is a less well known type of salsa , your question is valid.
Are you sure you didn’t microwave a frog?
Technically if it comes out green, it’s a verde, which can be a blanket term. The charred bits are necessary, and I’m thinking they roasted the ingredients with a bit of oil. After that, you would just limit the amount of water you add. If, like you say, it’s very thick, they probably didn’t add any liquid at all. I would serve this with grilled steak. One question though, no cilantro?
Looks like Indian food
