Second batch of salsa I’ve ever made. Recipe with my mistakes included.

This is a recipe a friend gave me with some modifications. Turned out pretty damn good!

4 Mediumish Size Tomatillos
2 Jalopenos
1 Serrano
Half a Medium Size Onion
5-6 Cloves of Garlic of Varying Sizes
About 10 Arbols NO seeds.
Oil
Mayo (I'll explain)

I broiled the vegetables in the oven on a baking sheet heavily monitoring them and flipping them.

I took out the garlic once it looked good/cooked enough, I took out the peppers and tomatillos when they looked charred, and I took out the onions along with the last things. The onions didn't get a charr but they were soft. I eyeballed all of this making sure to char and no burn.

I put all the ingredients in a blender and what came out was the first photo.

I let it sit in the fridge and revisited it and it was kind stuck together. Wasn't very fluid.

During time of it cooling I looked up what a recipe for that creamy taco truck jalopenos salsa and saw a main ingredient was oil.

I added about 25-30ml of oil and seeded about 10 arbols and blended it again. Picture 2 is the result of that.

It tasted good but pretty oily so I sat with a hand stirrer or blender? One of those hand devices with the spinning coil and blended it more because I already washed the damn blender and I blended it pretty damn good.

I then came to a realization that the salsa is emulsified but kinda thin at the same time and still a bit oily. (I need to go and buy avocado to make it thicker and to lower the heat. it's pretty spicy. Next time I might leave out the serrano too)

I ended up using 2 small dollaps of mayo and using my hand blender. It isn't oily anymore and it didn't change the flavor at all. It tastes identical to the taco truck salsas around me just spicier.

I'm most likely going to still add avocado to make it thicker and spread out the heat but I'm VERY happy with this salsa and it was only my second try. And I might even consider still using Mayo as well.
