Molcajete Recipes

 

Enjoy some of these amazing recipes for you to enjoy and create an amazing dish for your next gathering!

 

 

Recipes:

Salsa de Molcajete

A Mexican staple and classic. Simple and delicious. What brings the flavor is grilling or roasting your veggies and keeping the salsa with a few chunks. The base is the same, but you can always substitute the chile with your favorite to give it the right heat you’re looking for.

4 tomatoes

1/2 onion

1 jalapeno(or more, and/or Serrano, Habanero, or any combination)

1 garlic clove

pinch of salt

Pinch of pepper

 

Directions:

Place your tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and unpeeled garlic clove on the grill, on a comal, or in the oven on a roasting dish (400* for 20 min). Char everything on all sides. Get it sizzling and dancing!!

Remove the garlic and peel, add to molcajete with some salt and a few whole peppercorns. Grind up to a paste. Add your Jalapeno (or Serrano, Habanero, or any combination of them) with seeds or without, depending on how hot you want it. Grind up to a paste. Rough chop your onion and add it.  Now start adding your tomatoes one at a time and grinding them. By the time you add the last one, your salsa will have both a smooth mix and still some larger pieces of tomatoes and onion. Grind till it’s the consistency you like. Now enjoy!

Anchiote Paste:

INGREDIENTS

3 whole cloves

1 bay leaf

¼ cup annatto seeds

2 teaspoons coriander seeds

¼ cup distilled white vinegar

1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest

1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

RECIPE PREPARATION

Add garlic, vinegar, lime zest, and orange zest and continue blending until a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a small airtight container and chill.
