    Homemade Salsa Using A Molcajete

    September 25, 2017 By Patrick 8 Comments

    You might be surprised the first time you try salsa made in a molcajete. Crushing the veggies releases additional oils and creates an explosion of flavor that traditional salsas don't have. So good! mexicanplease.com

    Making salsa with a molcajete will give you a quick taste of civilization missing the mark.  Yes, blenders and food processors are massively convenient, but that doesn't mean they are superior to an old fashioned bowl and club. Mortar and pestle would be the more accepted terminology, and if you're in Latin America it's referred...

    Wicked Hot Chipotle Chile Pequin Salsa

    August 19, 2016 By Patrick 16 Comments

    This Wicked Chipotle Chile Pequin Salsa gets serious heat from the Chile Pequins and a rich flavor from the Chipotles. So good! Keep an eye out for Chile Pequins (Piquin) in Latin markets. mexicanplease.com

    (This Wicked Chipotle Chile Pequin Salsa relies on chipotles for flavor and chile pequins for heat!  Jump to recipe here.)

    May 27, 2016 By Patrick 10 Comments

    This Cascabel Chile Salsa limits the other ingredients so that the Cascabels can shine! It's worth trying if you've never used Cascabels before mexicanplease.com

    Cascabel Chiles are the quiet kid in the back of the classroom.  Their smaller size and mild heat has kept them off most people's radar. Named after the distinctive rattle their seeds make, Cascabels are typically paired with other, more robust chiles to make up for their perceived shortcomings. But Cascabels have a unique flavor that can easily...
