First post and I'm excited for this community! I want to share one of my very favorite things, Salsa! 😁

Salsa 1 is a tomatillo salsa with mulatto pepper. salsa 2 is a tomato salsa with Chipotle and guajillos peppers.

I constantly make variations based on what I feel like trying, inspired by, or craving!

Hope other people will share their favorites!

That looks bomb! Can you share the recipe?

Unfortunately I haven't written down much so this is from memory!

8 tomatillos
1/4 white onion
1 jalapeΓ±o
Garlic clove
3 dried mulatto peppers, toasted and rehydrated
Cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste 

4 tomatoes
1/4 onion
1 jalapeΓ±o
2 Chipotle peppers in adobo
3 dried guajillos peppers, toasted and rehydrated
1 or 2 cloves garlic
cilantro
juice of 1 lime
1/2 Tsp bullion (I use chicken better than bouillon)

Thanks! I'm going to try these :) Unfortunately I don't think I'll get tomatillos where I'm from.

While I've learned most salsas are made with tomatillos (and frequently some type of dried pepper), I'm a product of my area so I love chips and salsa, which means table salsa! Tomato salsa makes the best dip, and the variations you can make with dried and whole peppers are endless! I really love the smokey character from canned chipotles and add them in a bit excess 😁

The /r/salsa subreddit has a wiki with a ton of salsa recipes made from all types of fruits and peppers as well. Truly remarkable variety. I need to back that up so I can fully abandon reddit lol

They both look really great. Is part or all of it home grown?

[–] Icarus 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I haven't been able to grow much this year, I've been mostly growing herbs and small cherry tomatoes that I can fit on a patio. I just planted a moruga scorpion pepper plant that I'm definitely going to roast and put in some hot salsa when I can! 😁πŸ”₯

Cool! I have been trying to grow a few different pepper plants, and one died so I’m always looking to see how people with successful ones make it.

[–] Icarus 5 points 2 years ago

I've been pretty unsuccessful with peppers as well. I'll let you know if I figure it out lol.

I'm now sad that we still can't get tomatillos where I currently live! 😭

[–] alottachairs 4 points 2 years ago

That looks so great! Thank you for sharing!
