Salsa de molcajete
Salsa de molcajete
Salsa de molcajete is a traditional Mexican salsa made using a molcajete, which is a type of mortar and pestle made from volcanic rock. The salsa typically includes roasted tomatoes, chilies, garlic, onions, and cilantro, all ground together in the molcajete to create a delicious and rustic salsa with a unique flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 2-3 jalapeño peppers (adjust to taste)
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- Salt to taste
- Lime juice to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and jalapeño peppers to the skillet and roast, turning occasionally, until they are slightly charred on all sides.
- Transfer the roasted tomatoes and jalapeños to the molcajete and grind them into a rough paste using the pestle. You can also use a blender if you don’t have a molcajete.
- Add the chopped onion, garlic cloves, and cilantro to the molcajete and continue grinding until well combined.
- Season the salsa with salt and lime juice to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or any other dish you like.
