Salsa macha Westlandpeppers

Here's how to make it

1
Order the Salsa Macha package with all Westlandpeppers products: 3 solo garlic, 25g arbol peppers, 25g tepin peppers and 10g morita peppers.

2
Finely chop the garlic and mix it with the salt. Heat 100ml of groundnut oil oil in a pan and slowly fry the garlic in it until it has a light brown color. Be careful this can quickly turn too brown and you will get a bitter result. When done let the garlic oil cool in a bowl.

3
Toast the dried chilies and peanuts in a dry skillet for about 2 minutes over medium heat and deglaze with the remaining 200ml of peanut oil. Fry until the oil reaches temperature and the roasted peppers turn slightly discolored. Remove the roasted peppers and peanuts from the heat and allow to cool.

4
Put the garlic oil and roasted pepper/peanut oil in a blender or blend with a hand blender until and blend until desired thickness and texture.

5
Put the salsa in a clean jar, twist the lid on. Place the jar upside down so that it vacuums and is perfectly sealed. Let the salsa cool and store in the refrigerator.

Shelf life

Once you open the jar of salsa, it has a limited shelf life. If you always use a clean spoon you extend the shelf life. You can also always pour a small layer of oil on top of the salsa after you have scooped some out. Or of course finish it right away, as it is so delicious!
