Red salsa

A real salsa roja starts with dried peppers, not a jar. Guajillo provides color and a slightly tart, almost fruity base, ancho adds the dark sweetness of a dried plum, and chile de árbol brings the heat.

Toast the peppers briefly and keep a close eye on them, as thirty seconds per side is enough, and you’ll smell exactly when they’re ready. Leave them any longer and the flavor turns bitter, and no amount of salt or sugar can fix it.

Then fry the blended sauce for a few more minutes in a little oil. This is the step that gives it a deep color and a longer shelf life, and you’ll immediately notice the difference in the full-bodied flavor compared to an un-fried salsa.
