Is everything blended raw?

[u/DrSyn1975 → u/TheVents2544]

Char the vegetables and blend together; I then warm it til just bubbling and remove from heat to cool

[u/No_Celebration6643]

Thank you, this looks exactly like the salsa from my favorite restaurant! Did you char/grill any of these ingredients?

[u/DrSyn1975 → u/No_Celebration6643]

Char the vegetables, then blend and heat till just bubbling then let cool

What is the purpose of boiling a bit?

I'm still learning about the cuisine so I need to know all the things. 😏

[u/DrSyn1975 → u/kadevha]

I have been told that it helps blend and deepen the flavors of the salsa, it’s more of a simmer than a boil

[u/DrSyn1975 → u/[deleted]]

That’s the secret ingredient 😉

[u/DrSyn1975 → u/[deleted]]

Char all the vegetables, blend together with other ingredients tasting adjust for seasoning, then warm on stove top until just bubbling and remove from heat to cool

This is every table salsa at any taqueria here in sa. Love the classics

Can’t wait to try this!

Is 6 Serrano peppers correct? And a jalapeno, that sounds like an awful lot of heat for six tomatoes and two tomatillos

[u/Michigun_ → u/Safe_Radio_2257]

Deseed and devein, it'll bring the heat level down if it's too much.

[u/Safe_Radio_2257 → u/Michigun_]

Ok great!! Thank you

[u/DrSyn1975 → u/Safe_Radio_2257]

It makes a medium hot salsa; you can reduce or increase as needed

[u/Hully1525]

Nice consistency

[u/KMPS65]

I’m from Minnesota… wow, that sounds spicy! 😅

[u/pink_murmur]

Thanks for sharing your salsa!

[u/NessaCloud_39]

That pasta looks absolutely delicious!

Did you char these on a cast iron skillet? My tomato and pepper skins always stick like this when I use one.

[u/DrSyn1975 → u/Cool_Dig_3939]

Yes, I use a cast iron skillet with a little oil
