Molcajete Roasted Salsa
Molcajete Roasted Salsa
"This spicy and complex salsa combines blackened, roasted tomatoes and vegetables in a Mexican "molcajete" - a traditional mortar and pestle. Our roasted salsa made in a Mexican lava rock molcajete is a huge favorite in our home. It’s super simple to make, and serving the salsa in the molcajete bowl makes for an impressive presentation. The roasting process adds a great depth of flavor and mild smokiness to the salsa as well. Don’t worry if you don’t have a mojcajete. This salsa can also be made using a blender or food processor. The flavor won’t be exactly the same, but delicious none the less."
Notes*Jalapeños can vary significantly in their level of heat. We recommend adding just a portion of the jalapeño at a time to get the desired spiciness. If you don't like the heat, also remove the seeds where the spiciness is concentrated.
