This is a rendition of the peanut salsa enjoyed in Orizaba. It took quite a few tries to duplicate the taste and flavor, we hope you like this Mexican recipe as much as we do.

  • Bring 1 cup of freshwater to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add roasted vegetables,(tomato, onion, garlic) salt, oregano, coriander, and black pepper. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates. Cool.
  • While the tomato mixture cooks, chop or crush the roasted peanuts in a molcajete or with a mortar and pestle. (set aside)
  • In a blender puree the guajillo and chipotle chiles and crushed peanuts in one cup of the reserved liquid. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add the tomato mixture to blender and pulse just until blended. Serve salsa at room temperature or refrigerate for up to one week.
