Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Peanuts Unsalted
  • 1 Handful Chile de arbol
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1/4 White Onion
  • 1 Roma Tomato Large
  • 1 Tbsp Oil
  • 1 Tsp Chicken Bouillon
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Water

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil.
  • Add the peanuts and toast for about 5 minutes, moving them around constantly so they don't burn.
  • Add the chiles de arbol and continue cooking for a few more minutes until they take on a slightly darker color. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Cut the tomato into four pieces and add to the pan where you cooked the peanuts and chiles with the onion and garlic and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until it reaches your desired consistency. If you want a thinner salsa, you can add additional water.
  • Serve with your favorite foods or just with tortilla chips.
