Jerrys Salsa Pequin Recipes

Steps:

• Note: To toast the cumin/camino seeds, drop seeds in a hot dry cast iron or non stick skillet over medium heat. As they warm move them around with a spatula or spoon to toast them evenly. This whole process usually only takes a minute, but it adds a rich smokey flavor to the salsa.
• Pour 1 can tomato sauce in blender. Add the rest of the ingredients. Blend on low speed until all peppers and cumin is fully incorporated. While the blender is still running on low slowly pour the last 2 cans of tomato sauce into the blender.
• When well blended taste to adjust the flavor to your liking. I like a hotter salsa so I add more pequins.
• Pour into quart jar and store in refrigerator. If the salsa separates just shake the jar before you open it.

Steps:

• 1. Mash chiles in your mocajete.
• 2. Boil your tomatoe in water about 5 minutes. You can add onion to this pot. Discard tomato skin and all but 2 tablespoons water.
• 3. Add tomatoe mixture to mocajete with salt and pepper. Mash as desired and serve.
• 4. Note: There are lots of variations, play with it. Add small amount of chicken bouillon to water pot. Add more or less chiles to your liking. Chiles can also be boiled if desired but not necessary. Remember, these are HOT.
