I am a firm believer that there is a difference between chunky salsa and salsa picante. I've spent a bunch of hours in cantinas with a bowl of something like this, a basket of tortilla chips and a cervesa or six, in front of me and not a tomatillo in sight. Read more I put tomatoes and all that other chunky stuff in “Salsa”, which I like, but not in “Hot Sauce” (salsa picante). Your typical Mexican Hot Sauce usually doesn’t have vinegar in it and I leave the vinegar for the Louisiana style sauce. Ain’t no right or wrong way to do this so fiddle with it all you like. Everything is optional as to what and how much. Careful when using the food processor or blender; get this in your eyes and you got pain. See less

Jose 'NADA's' recipe sounds 100% better than a shop bottled one with added stabilizer '415' I'll tweek this one adding some ginger and palm sugar. Cheerfully !!!!!5
