Drunk Salsa
From 'Eat Mexico' by Lesley Tellez
This salsa gets its name from being flavoured with beer. It has a distinctive texture and saltiness, but if you prefer a softer flavour, and a spritz of freshly-squeezed orange juice.Ingredients
- 5 pasilla chillies
- 2 garlic gloves, unpeeled
- 1½ tsp olive oil
- 150ml dark Mexican beer
- 4 tbsp pickled jalapeno chillies, roughly chopped
- Chopped onion, to taste
- ½ tsp salt, or more to taste
- 30g queso anejo, crumbled
- 3 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice, optional
- Briefly toast the chillies in a frying pan over a medium-low heat. Cook them for 5-10 seconds, turning constantly, until they release a spicy aroma; they should not burn. Remove from the heat, snip off the stems, and shake out the seeds.
- Fill a bowl with warm water and leave the chillies to soak for about 20 minutes until the skins soften.
- Meanwhile, toast the garlic in a frying pan for 5-8 minutes, until soft and squishy.
- Place the garlic, chillies, oil, and beer in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the pickled jalapenos and onion.
- Taste and add the orange juice, if desired.
- Stir in the salt as desired, and top with the cheese. Serve immediately.
