Make an impression of your guests with this red chili salsa and show people you know your stuff.


Ingredients:
chile de arbol
fresh garlic
tomatos
salt

Take One clove of fresh garlic and mince with a tee-spoon of salt in a molcajeta

Take fifty chile's de arbol, break of the green tops; fry them gently in cooking oil until they begin to turn brown. Better to under cook than over cook. This take about 2 to 3 minutes.

Take the chile's de arbal out of the frying pan leaving the oil to use for the next step. Add the chili's to the garlic and salt in the molcajeta and mince once again.

Cut two tomatoes into quarters and fry in the oil in the pan. Fry until the tomatoes completely dissolve.

Add the fried tomatoes to the molcajeta and mix.
