Salsa de Arbol


Every Mexican restaurant has a version of "red salsa".  It is amazing on chips and tacos.  I have my own version, which we happen to love.  











Ingredients: 16 oz of crushed tomatoes, small can of tomato paste, half a white onion, Mexican oregano, salt, vegetable oil, jalapeño, chile de arbor,and garlic.


Directions: Roast the jalapeño with a bit of olive oil in the oven at 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes. Sautee your onions until browned then add the tomatoes, paste, four tbs of oregano, 1/2 a tsp of salt, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. When the jalapeños are roasted I toss them in a food processor with the garlic.  When the mixture is made into a puree add the mix to the salsa.  Bring the mixture to a boil then let it cool. The salsa is best the next day, refrigerate and let it cool.
