Salsa de Molcajete | Rick Bayless Taco Manual
A food processor or blender may get the job done, but there is nothing like hand crushing the roasted ingredients to this tomato-and-chile salsa. If you're enlisting any young kitchen helpers, just be sure wear an apron! Using a Molcajete can be as messy as it is fun.

Thank you so much for the recipe. My family members loved it so much ❤
My hart soared to see your cilantro chopping skills, love it.
I went and bought a Molcajete .Great salsa Rick
Love this Gringos knowledge of MEXICAN CUISINE 🤙❤️
Oh my, I made this tonight to go with my chicken fajitas and charro beans. Delicious, everyone loved it. Thanks Rick for the recipes, videos and entertainment.
Rick, You've became my go-to man for Mexican recipes. I have lived in Mexico for a while loooong time ago, but can't remember anything specific except the taste. Now, trying to bring back memories, I have made some salsa straight from Your YT channel, and they are just awesome. Tacos a la Pastor will be next. Both thumbs up!
I have become pretty good at making salsa, just from watching my mom and my aunt. The 1st salsa Iever made, I made in the molcajete. Looked just like this one. Except I put 4 serranos 4 tomatoes.
Finally bought a molcajete (Masienda) and made salsa last night. So good!!! Im sad that its not the molcajete my mom and gramma had, those are long lost.... But at least i can hand mine down. Essential piece of equipment to a Mexican kitchen.
That kind of salsa is great even with only tortilla chips, simple and delicious, I prefer mine raging hot.
Used to love watching his show
Salsa de molcajete with fresh tortillas ...Nothing better ! My Mexican wife makes this for me with fresh tomatos from my garden. It is very rare there are any left overs, but if there is we have whevos con salsa for breakfast.

Seltzer or salsa lol. Love this recipe. I would have loved watching this with my grandma, she would have adopted Rick. Salsa May be just as important as the tortilla
I’ve been watching your cooking shows for years and love the combination of cooking and historical and cultural aspects that complete the story. I made this salsa tonight and it is absolutely delicious. Thank you.
Mmmm que rico saludos desde los Ángeles california 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I appreciate the detail in the instructions. They are always very very precise. Love this channel. Love Rick Bayless!

We made this tonight and we absolutely loved it. Rick is the best! Thank you!
Yup, I'm totally making this. I used to watch your show on PBS in 04 and I'd have to admit most of my Mexican dishes were inspired by your dishes. To be honest you taught me to cook so thanks for that lol

Pretty cool looking molcajete 😀👍🏽
Like # 301 🇲🇽🤙🏻 probando chile 🌶 en las comidas sin albur 🤣🤣🤣ya no hay punto de retorno
I'm not even sure if it counts as a "hack," because I don't know whether or not it would save any time, but my mom would often times just fire roast her tomatoes, chilies, and onions directly on the stovetop. Obviously this would only work with gas burners. And something to watch out for every time you roast chilies, especially anything with any level of heat, is that when you roast them, you're releasing and vaporizing those volatile spicy oils, so make sure your kitchen is well ventilated if you don't want to accidentally tear gas your family.

Yeah the oven method is a "hack" imo, but I like it. I'm from México and live in México, we always do it on the stovetop over what we call a "comal". We also never remove the tomatoes skin, idk why he took it off, part of the taste comes from that burned skin.
This was the winner and of course the tomatio version at the party
If this is the queen of salsas, what is the king? Salsa verde? Mexicana?

Sin miedo Ricardo,ponle más chiles.
So true on the heat of jalapeños
Summer is coming and from the garden all my ingredients too for this great salsa, fresh tomatoes, garlic and chiles all roasted sounds so good. No cans for me. It snowed last night in Santa Cruz mountains.
Leave the charred parts in the salsa. It’s what gives it a Smokey flavor.
I make Salsa whenever my son wants this to take to work and have had so many of his workers ask me to make more. Of course, it is very HOT but that's what they like. Very tasty.
I see that Togiharu Gyuto. Good knife. :)
Thank you Rick, my Serrano is a bit spicy but delicious!!!
for the first time i made as per your recipe but made one error. instead broiling, first i placed under baking and later on broiling where some deficiency did occur. however, as the same procedure was followed, it gave a real taste from onion which had sweet taste. thanks.
I actually like more onion in mine, and mixed onion. Favorite is to roast red onion and add raw white onion. Roma has the flavor, and if you want it really thick, add some avocado.
This is the best way to make salsa. Cilantro is a must. Sometimes I like to use 2 tomatoes and 2 tomatillos.
Excellent! Just watched a video of the same salsa made by a chef from Barrio Queen in Phoenix, 2 salsas in the same day, its a sign to get this done! Now the trick to find ripe tomatoes in the dead of winter. Thanks Rick!

You don't need a molcajete, food processor or blender to make this. I make roasted tomato salsas all the time just using a chef's knife like the one Rick uses in this video. After the ingredients are roasted they fall apart easily and dicing them with a knife into a salsa is a breeze. Use a scraper to scrape everything into a bowl, including the juices of course, and mix well. You will get the same consistency as a molcajete and there is less to wash up.
👍👍👍👍❤❤
I do just like you but I also add a large California peper.
NEW TO MORTARING
I’m surprised you don’t taste test on a tortilla chip Rick
Salsa time
Great receipt my friend ask me for your receipe
So my grandpa showed us to put the onion and last first salt helps break down the onions followed by garlic and then what ever else your using tomatoes, chilies, the secret to the molcajetes is grind every ingredient inside and not outside, when y’all buy a molcajete remember to season it and never use soap to wash it only rinse with water
Wondering how long this will keep in a jar in the fridge? Is there are non-damaging way to increase longevity?
@imonaroll9502
Жыл бұрын
Fresh salsa will keep for about 1-2 days. Red and green salsas will last about 3-4 days.
Quick question: could we use black garlic? We bought several heads of same online a few months ago, but we’re finding it difficult to find recipes using them. Thanks in advance.
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt explained how the molcajete improved flavor in his guacamole video - in short, the blender or the food processor slices the ingredients, only rupturing a relative handful of cells whereas the molcajete crushes the ingredients instead and ruptures more cells, overall releasing more flavor compounds into the final dish.

I don't know how true this is, but I've also heard that because basalt is naturally slightly porous, that the acidity of things like tomatoes and lime juice naturally leach out some of the natural minerals of the volcanic rock. Like I said, I don't know how true that is, especially since one of the first things you're meant to do with a new molcajete is season/cure it by grinding down either raw rice or rock salt to cover up the micropores.
How do you clean your mortar?
I usually use half Serranos per Tomato’s and that leaves a decent heat, if the tomato’s somehow beat the serranos I’ll add 1 raw
I've never thought of adding Lime juice to my salsas, but actually, that doesn't sound bad. I mean, I always end up using lime in salsa but that's when I'm dressing my food... Hey, Rick! Next time add diced Avocado to your Tomatillo Salsa. I won't say Cilantro because it seems you are #TeamCilantro in everything! Also, instead of salt, try adding Knorr Suiza (or small amount of Chicken Bouillon) to add more flavor.

Rick, have you spent any time in San Diego? I am desperately trying to figure out how they make their Mexican fast food there. Mainly their taco sauces but also their carne asada burritos and rolled tacos too. My favorites were always Juanitas in Encinitas, Robertos and Albertos which were both chains in San Diego. Would love it if you could go there and reverse engineer all these items. :)
Would you do the same steps for a tomatillo version?

Generally speaking, I think it's because cilantro like parsley & basil is a tender herb and is easily bruised.
