  • 1 -2 dried red pepper , if you can'tsp get chiles de arbol
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 4 sprigs cilantro
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 -2 tbsp oil (recipe doesn'tsp specify the type.)
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce (optional)

Directions:

  1. Place the dried chiles on a cookie sheet and toast in a 325-degree oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Stem and seed them, and then set aside.
  2. In a medium skillet, simmer the tomatoes and garlic, in just enough water to prevent scorching until softened-about 20 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree along with the cilantro, salt, toasted chiles, and if desired, jalapenos, for 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Sauté the pureed salsa in a skillet with hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. If the salsa is pale, you may wish to add some tomato sauce to deepen the color.
  5. This salsa may be made in advance and either refridgerated or frozen.
