Gonna start this section off with my fav, Salsa!

First post and I'm excited for this community! I want to share one of my very favorite things, Salsa! 😁

Salsa 1 is a tomatillo salsa with mulatto pepper. salsa 2 is a tomato salsa with Chipotle and guajillos peppers.

I constantly make variations based on what I feel like trying, inspired by, or craving!

Hope other people will share their favorites!

Unfortunately I haven't written down much so this is from memory!

8 tomatillos
1/4 white onion
1 jalapeño
Garlic clove
3 dried mulatto peppers, toasted and rehydrated
Cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste

4 tomatoes
1/4 onion
1 jalapeño
2 Chipotle peppers in adobo
3 dried guajillos peppers, toasted and rehydrated
1 or 2 cloves garlic
cilantro
juice of 1 lime
1/2 Tsp bullion (I use chicken better than bouillon)

Thanks! I'm going to try these :) Unfortunately I don't think I'll get tomatillos where I'm from.

While I've learned most salsas are made with tomatillos (and frequently some type of dried pepper), I'm a product of my area so I love chips and salsa, which means table salsa! Tomato salsa makes the best dip, and the variations you can make with dried and whole peppers are endless! I really love the smokey character from canned chipotles and add them in a bit excess 😁

The /r/salsa subreddit has a wiki with a ton of salsa recipes made from all types of fruits and peppers as well. Truly remarkable variety. I need to back that up so I can fully abandon reddit lol

An absolutely wonderful way to start a food community!

I'm now sad that we still can't get tomatillos where I currently live! 😭

They both look really great. Is part or all of it home grown?

No, I haven't been able to grow much this year, I've been mostly growing herbs and small cherry tomatoes that I can fit on a patio. I just planted a moruga scorpion pepper plant that I'm definitely going to roast and put in some hot salsa when I can! 😁🔥
