Steps:
- Rinse chiles.
- Heat half of the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add chiles and garlic and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes (chiles will be puffed and garlic browned). Set garlic aside.
- Transfer chiles to a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak until soft (about 15 minutes). Drain and remove stems, seeds and veins.
- Purée chiles, garlic and 2 cups water (I use the chile-soaking water).
- Heat the other 3 tablespoons of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pureed salsa and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
Tips:
- For a smokier salsa, roast the tomatoes and peppers before blending.
- Use a variety of peppers to create a salsa with different levels of heat.
- Add a bit of honey or agave nectar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- For a creamier salsa, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Garnish the salsa with chopped cilantro or green onions before serving.
