Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil*
  • 12 Morita peppers (cleaned and seeded)
  • 4 small garlic cloves (or 2 large)
  • 1 cup of hot water
  • Salt to season

Instruction

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and garlic cloves and fry. Peppers will inflate when ready. This step is quick, so make sure not to burn the peppers to avoid a bitter tasting salsa.
  • Remove peppers and garlic cloves, place in a bowl with the cup of hot water, and let them soak for about 8-10 minutes.
  • Place in a blender with about ½ of the soaking water and the oil where the peppers and garlic were fried. Process until you have a rather grainy textured salsa. Season with salt and enjoy!
