Delicious and spicy cascabel chilli salsa

February 20, 2023 at 9:20 pm, No comments

A recipe for a delicious and spicy cascabel chilli salsa:

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 dried cascabel chillies
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1/2 white onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon of white vinegar

Instructions:

  1. Remove the stems and seeds from the cascabel chillies and soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes, until they're soft.

  2. In a blender, combine the soaked chillies, garlic, onion, salt, and oregano. Add water gradually and blend until smooth.

  3. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, pour the salsa from the blender into the pan and stir occasionally for about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Add the vinegar to the pan and stir for another minute or so.

  5. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

This salsa is great as a condiment for tacos, grilled meats, or as a dip for tortilla chips. Enjoy!

These whole chilli pods are all about flavour rather than heat. Each variety has its own unique notes and is packed with flavour perfect for a variety of dishes. Take your cooking to the next level!


Preparation

The concept: gently toast then re-hydrate.

Remove seeds and stems then give them a quick rinse. Next, open them out or cut them.

Toast them in a dry pan till fragrant and flavourful.

Then simmer in stock then blend or soak in boiled water for 15 minutes, drain and blend to a paste with a tad of water before using.

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

Always wash your hands after touching chillies!
