I'll get the recipe from my mother in law who makes it super spicy

 

I think the key (and I could be wrong) is that you leave the seeds in. They are the ones that pack a punch, especially after they have been cooked (chile peppers)

 

I believe the green one that is spicier is a little darker than the non spicy one

 

Awesome.

 

And I think you're right about the hotter green salsa being a little darker.

I dont really dabble in the cooked salsa...but anytime you want a pico Dr gallo recipe,I did work in a Mexican restaurant for almost 20 years...

For the green salsa,I know two differend kinds...one,the spicier..

Find a tin of stewed jalapeño peppers,the one with carrots in it.ive seen small babyfood sized tims and jumbo,like canned ketchup sized.Simply blend this up with a touch of salt and garlic.

The milder,but still zippy...

Take one small tin of above.If you can find tinned tomatilla green tomatos of the same size,great..use one of those...if the larger are only available,measure it out...the more you add,the less spicy.Blend these all together,put in a pot on low,add juice of halve a lime,two cloves of garlic,minced(or a teaspoon of already crushed in oil if you like,have it)quarter teaspoon of salt if .add a tablespoon of fresh chopped cilantro leaves ,bring to a slow boil and remove from heat.Dont overcook,or even better,add the cilantro around half way through...as if it cooks too much it gets very bitter.

For a nice,spicier version,use a small tin of chipolte peppers in adobo sauce rather than the jalapeño,blend everything till smooth,leave out the cilantro(fresh) and simmer for half an hour on medium low.

Small note..the tomitillo I use usually have some cilantro as an ingredient.

LMK if you try either,enjoy.

The chipolte sauce above I usually have as a sauce on top of enchiladas,chimichangas,burrito s ect.

Adding a half can of creamed corn to it when blending really adds a nice,sweet rich taste.

Thank you Jimmers!

 

I'm going to try the spicier version first if I can find stewed jalapenos. I love that stuff.

more than a pleasure.i forgot to mention,if making the chipotle sauce,add a half to full cup of warm chicken broth to thin it out and add some nice flavour. ;)

 

Is this like the stewed jalapeño peppers with carrots you mentioned?

 

I think stores in my area handle this, but it says "pickled" so I was confused.

That will work just fine!

I was thinking...that arseburning hot yellow salsa?Likely made with scotch bonnets/habeneros.

If you ever see a yellowish hot sauce described as Barbados style,grab it...soooo good.

 

Cool. I was worried it would impart an undesirable pickling taste. I can't seem to find any that are just stewed like whole/sliced/diced tomatoes. My understanding is that anything in a can has been stewed because of the heat from the canning process (like black beans).

Yeah...I was at Safeway last night and just picked up what was on sale. Smart & Final has a bag that's about the size of a duffle bag for around $5-6.

 

But the best are home made, or even just frying up some corn tortillas - same with taco shells.

 

I was surprised Safeway had all those fresh peppers, and they are super inexpensive, even less expensive by weight than the canned.

 

Here's the cost of what's pictured:

Onion $1.85 (friggin' crazy expensive)

Serrano Peppers $0.78

Tomatillos $1.22

Organic Limes $1.00
