Instructions
- Remove the stems and seeds from the anchos, guajillos and chiles de arbol. Chop or cut them into very small pieces, about 1/4 inch or smaller. Set them aside.
- Add the peanuts, garlic, sesame seeds and oil in a medium pot. Heat to medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until the garlic starts to to crisp up and the seeds turn golden brown.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chili pepper bits. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the vinegar, salt and Mexican oregano.
- Pour the mixture into a blender or food processor and pulse several times until the salsa is nicely combined. Don't over-process the salsa macha, as you want to have nice crispy bits, not a puree.
- Serve!
Notes
- Makes about 2.5 cups. Serving size estimated at 1/4 cup. Nutritional values are estimated.
- Heat Factor: Mild. Salsa macha is not traditionally a hot and spicy salsa, though you can heat things up with hotter peppers and/or spicy chili flakes.
- Storage: You can store your salsa macha in the refrigerator in a sealed container. It will last 3-4 weeks.
- Oil: This recipe is meant to be more like a chili crisp, with a lot of oil. However, some people find 2 cups of oil "too oily". If you are concerned, use only 1 cup of vegetable oil for a thicker salsa macha.
