- 15 chile puya peppers stems and seeds removed
- 1 tomato diced
- 6 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 sprig cilantro
Instructions
Step 1
- To make the salsa, begin by dry-roasting the chile puya peppers and garlic over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Next, transfer the roasted peppers and garlic to a blender or food processor along with the chopped tomato, vinegar, cilantro, salt, and water. Blend until smooth.
Step 2
- Once blended, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over low heat and add the blended mixture to the pan.
- Cook for 2 minutes while stirring constantly so that the salsa does not stick to the pan.
- Let the finished salsa cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container for storage.
- Serve with your favorite Mexican dishes or enjoy as a spicy dip for chips!
Notes
- If you prefer extra heat then do not remove seeds from the chile peppers before blending.
- Additionally, be sure to cook the salsa over low heat so that it does not stick to the pan and become burnt.
- Adding a little sugar to the salsa will help to offset the heat from the puya chili peppers.
