I got this from Bobby in our Mexican Only forum. This is an excellent table salsa for dipping. Great for a tailgate party or as a tv watching snack.

prep time 5 Min
cook time 15 Min
method Stove Top
yield 10-12 serving(s)

Ingredients

  • 5 chile pods, dried, (i like new mexico)
  • 4 medium tomatoes, blanched, skins removed
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to your taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

How To Make red chile salsa

  • Cut the seeded chile pods into small pieces.
    Step 1
    Remove the stem and seeds from the chile and cut up into small pieces into a bowl. Cover the chile with boiling water and plastic wrap. Allow to soften for an hour. Drain.
  • Remove the skins, quarter and place in the blender.
    Step 2
    Bring a pot of water to boil. Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the tomatoes to blanch for 30 minutes (or until you see the skin crack just a little. Immediately place in an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Remove the skins, quarter and place in a blender.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the oil.
    Step 3
    To the blender add all ingredients EXCEPT the oil. Blend until smooth. You do not want it chunky.
  • Step 4
    Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the blended salsa. Heat for 10-15 minutes or until thickened just a little.
  • Step 5
    Allow to cool or refrigerate. Serve with chips.
