Zubereitung von Salsa De Arbol
- Remove stems from 8-10 árbol chiles and cut them open lengthwise. Carefully remove and discard the seeds (use gloves if sensitive to capsaicin).
- In a small saucepan, combine the chiles with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the chiles are softened. Add more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
- While the chiles simmer, prepare the remaining ingredients: roughly chop 1 cup of tomatoes, 1/2 cup of red onion, and 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro.
- Carefully transfer the softened chiles and about 1/2 cup of their cooking liquid to a blender. Add 1/4 cup of the chopped tomatoes.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Add the remaining chopped tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro to the blender. Pulse until finely chopped but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Add salt (1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon, to taste), lime juice (2 tablespoons, or to taste), and any additional spices as desired (a pinch of cumin or oregano can be delicious).
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, eggs, or your favorite Mexican dish. Enjoy the fiery deliciousness!
