Best 8 Salsa Chilena Recipes

EASY CHILE SALSA

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos,
• onion, garlic, and chiles. Cook for about 7 minutes until the tomatillo skins are browned.
• Carefully peel the garlic cloves and transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the cilantro and 1 cup of water. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the salsa into a serving bowl and serve.

RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA

Steps:

• Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
• Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
• Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

ROASTED CHILE SALSA

Steps:

• Roast the poblano chiles one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop, using metal tongs to hold them, until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When the skin is totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow the chiles to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Remove the chiles and use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Slice the chiles in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds and membranes.
• Divide the ingredients into 3 batches so they will fit into a 12-cup processor
• Combine whole tomatoes, roast chiles, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor.
• Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
• Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

SALSA DE CHILE PASILLA

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat
• Once the oil is hot, fry the garlic, moving often, until they just begin to turn golden, about 20-30 seconds
• Remove the garlic from the oil and place in the blender
• Next, fry the chiles, one at a time, pressing down with a spatula until they just begin to change color and inflate slightly, about 5-10 seconds per side. Put the fried chiles in the blender and repeat this step for all remaining chiles.
• Add any remaining oil from the skillet to the blender and allow it to cool slightly
• Add salt. I start with 1/2 tsp and add more if necessary.
• Begin blending the mixture, slowly streaming oil into the blender while the blender is running. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth, with no large chunks of chile or garlic remaining. The final mixture should be thick and oily. More liquidy than a paste, but not watery.
• Check for salt and adjust if necessary

SALSA CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook the beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the salsa, beans and tomato juice; heat through. Serve with the cheese, peppers, sour cream and onions if desired.

FRESH HOMEMADE SALSA

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, red onion, yellow onion, green chilies, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor. Pulse processor until mixture is combined, yet remains chunky. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

HATCH CHILE SALSA

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; add Hatch chile peppers.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
• Blend roasted Hatch chile peppers, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with roasted garlic, onion, cilantro, and garlic powder in a food processor or blender until desired consistency is reached.

SALSA CRIOLLA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the onion, bell pepper, serrano chile, lime juice and cilantro, and mix well. Season to taste with salt.
