[Moro]

Well, here are three recipes for some home-made, mexican salsas. Hope ye enjoy!

Salsa Verde (Green Salsa)

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup chopped white onion
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
• 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 3 Serrano chiles (Jalapeños can do), stemmed, seeded and chopped
• Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Remove papery husks from tomatillos and rinse well. Cut in half and place cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place under a broiler for about 5-7 minutes to lightly blacken the skin.
2. Place tomatillos, lime juice, onions, cilantro, Serrano chiles, sugar in a food processor (or blender) and pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and mixed.
3. Season to taste with salt. Let cool.

Salsa de cacahuate con chile de árbol (Peanut and red chile salsa)

INGREDIENTS

• 20 seeded red chiles (see the photo at the end)

DIRECTIONS

1. Fry the peanuts in 1/4 cup olive oil without burning. Take out to let dry and put aside.

I don't understand this part of the 3rd recipe:

Put the garlic, peanuts and chiles in the food processor with the water and salt and heat with the oil over low heat for 10 minutes

Put the peanuts, chile and garlic in the food processor. Also put in the water and salt. Chop it all, and then return to pan with oil and cook over low heat for 10 min. I'll edit it.
