Salsa Roja

Salsa roja is one of the two fresh salsas that are mainstays of Mexican cuisine. Adjust the number of hot red chili peppers to suit your palate. We use this salsa in place of curry paste in our southeast Asian red curries making them ultra easy to prepare.

Notes and Tips

You might need to add a tablespoon or two of filtered water to get the mixture to blend correctly and to produce the desired consistency. Add more salt and sugar-substitute to achieve the desired taste. Can be stored for up to 10 days in the refrigerator. Add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar after a few days in the refrigerator to extend the fridge-shelf-life of the salsa.
