I forgot to take a picture of all the ingredients, but here are the final products. I love roasted salsas, so pretty much all the ingredients are roasted apart from the cilantro and lime. These are all to my own taste, but I think my taste is pretty decent lol. They can last quite a long time in the fridge, but they don’t make it long because I literally eat these first two on everything. The third is a new attempt, and I will be playing around more with the concept.
First pic is 1lb roasted jitomates, 1 roasted red jalapeño, 3 green habaneros, 1/2 bunch cilantro, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 white onion, Juice 6 limes, Salt to taste, about 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon in 1/2c water to preserve it for longer and add a little flavor. This one isn’t very spicy, but it is bright and flavorful.
The next is about 2lbs tomatillos, a green jalapeño, six green habaneros, 3 cloves of garlic, a full white onion, a whole bunch of cilantro, juice of 8 limes, a bit of bouillon, salt to taste. Again, not super spicy to me, but this one has a creeping heat and the sort of bright tang I love.
The third is a roasted jitomate, about 8 toasted red New Mexico hatch chiles, which I rehydrated. I blended it with a bit of the rehydration liquid mixed with a bit of bouillon, some roasted garlic, a little squeeze of lime (far cry from the other two lol), cumin, and salt. Then I cooked it down a bit with a little oil. It’s pretty good, only very slightly spicy, but such a nice earthy and rich flavor. I may braise some meat in this one.
