Peanut Salsa Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
Prepare the Chilis
Remove the stems from the dried chilis and soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes until they soften. Drain and set aside.
Toast the Peanuts
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the peanuts for about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
Blend Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the softened chilis, toasted peanuts, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until you achieve a chunky salsa consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Add Cilantro
If using, add chopped cilantro and pulse a couple of times to mix. Be careful not to over-blend.
Serve
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a condiment for grilled meats.
